Eyes of Love

Ron VanHooser 1956 (Franklin County, MO)



How they haunt my days and nights,
In my sleep they watch me…
In my days they follow me…
In quiet times I see them,
And I can feel her love surrounding me still.

I look at them and see the myriad emotions
Of a life spent together.
A love lived to its fullest.
A longing that is forever.
Of lost tomorrows that will never be.

Emerald pools of passion’s fire.
Loving life…
Loving me…
Loving our dreams of tomorrow…
Visions of a future that will never be.

Jade ice in the hard times of life.
Meeting trials,
Facing hard times,
Never giving in;
A strength to see us through together.

The love I saw through our life together,
I see even now.
No matter where life takes me,
I know she’s still watching,
Her eyes of love will watch over me forever.
