Poem for Amber

Terilynne DeBlois

If I could see through your eyes
I would see the beauty of life
Not the shadows of terror
Teach me daughter
Help me to see
If I could see through your eyes
I would see the warmth of the sun
On the coldest of days
Teach me daughter
Help me to see
If I could see through your eyes
I would see the beauty of people
Not the bigotry and hate that abounds
Teach me child
Help me to see
If I could see through your eyes
I would see that joy surrounds us always
Teach me daughter
Help me to see
