In the eyes of hope

I see a fire

A fire burning

Into the depths

Of hell

In the eyes of faith

I see wonder

A wonder questioning

If it should have

Not done what it did

That hurt someone

In the eyes of trust

I see brightness

A brightness brighter than the sun

That keeps us warm

But will eventually

Die just like everything else

In the eyes of love

I see a heart

A heart that's been broken

Many times before

And was never healed properly

In the eyes of forgiveness

I see a star

A twinkling little star

That actually forgives

When the rest doesn't

In the eyes of life

I see a rose

A beautiful red rose

That tricks you

Into touching one

Of its many thorns

I see

Hope

Faith

Trust

Love

Forgiveness

And life

In just one little girl

You may not see it

But

Beauty

Is in the eye

Of the beholder

Isn't it
