“When They Look At You”

When they look at you
They see a touch of age upon your skin
But each line tells me a story
Of all the places you have ever been
When they look at you
They cannot see past your blue eyes
I see the beauty your heart holds
That a look could never hide
When they look at you
They see a tall, strong and handsome man
But do now know the healing power
From a soft touch of your rough hands
When they look at you
They see a man who knows no pain
I see the hurt from loves you have lost
But a future where love remains
When they look at you
They see pride that has no bounds
I see you have uncovered your soul
And happiness is what you have found
When they look at you
They see you strive to be the best
I see you reaching your every goal
And accepting nothing less
When they look at you
I only wish that they could see
A love that shines deep in your eyes
When you look at me

Dear WildHorses,
I really like your poetry, your going to get better and better as long you keep on putting all that thought into your poems like you do.
