The Depth of Greeneyes
By Larry Chadwick

It wasn’t those green eyes,
As rich as they are.
Or those luscious lips,
The fullest by far.

It was in the heart
And beauty of her words,
That she revealed
What my soul heard.

For it was only looks,
That are skin deep.
But true beauty,
Can make us weep.

Tender gentle thoughts,
Revealed by what she writes.
Pain and sensitivity,
Exposed by this lifes frights.

Truth requires bravery,
And that she oft’ reveals.
It’s what is deep inside,
That to my mind appeals.

January 27, 2002

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

these words made even more beautiful by the relief we feel in the news that shes still with us.
So good to see your smiling face back with us this morn as well Poet Larry.

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much ...
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
