I remember we were mischievous we rang door bells and ran away you always would get caught but we always giggled anyway your kind eyes of hazel.. always gave you away not a poker face you loved animals stray dogs, with you would play all the family has eyes of blue i often wondered why why yours were hazel? dad looked exactly like you but for the past thirty years you have lived in a different world a world of your own some may think you are homeless the way you wander around finding your way from town to town in cold weather or rain as the winds blow one time you were found walking barefoot in the snow two sisters and a brother we love you so a devoted mother a wonderful step father named Joe no one knows you the way we do the little boy who was an artist loved drawing horses not to mention your IQ is the highest i am your oldest sister you are the second born i wonder why God chose you? my brother with hazel eyes, not blue *inspired by Floria's poem* "Mistakes are the portals of discovery." -- James Joyce [This message has been edited by Victoria (03-01-2002 08:57 PM).] |

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I am the second born in my family out of four children of my mom and dad and I am the only one who has blue eyes, which I got from my dad, while the others are brown eyes! (kiss on cheek) This is soooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Victoria, I love this in every way, as I'm sure your brother does also. I also have hazel eyes, as does every one of my eleven brothers and sisters, which is odd, because my father had blue eyes and my mother, brown. Go figure...LOL! I hope you'll write more of your brother. He sounds interesting. Michael Michael Auguste~ |

Victoria, this was so beautifully done...it just has that whimper of sadness because your brother is still here but living in a different world.....Maybe he's very happy in that world I also have hazel eyes...a combination of my Dad's green ones and my Mom's brown ones...except I have a ring of dark bluish grey around the edge of my irises. My mother said that it took my eyes a long time to change from that newborn baby color, and when they finally did...they never changed all the way out to the edge. Interestingly, my sister's eyes are totally that color. In high school, my biology teacher said that it was impossible for two dark eyed people to produce a blue eyed child...but it happened in my family...and we all know that she's ours.....she looks like all of us. Sorry for rambling...I loved the poem! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
