Look Into His Eyes

by Elizabeth

Can you look into his eyes and say
That you really want him to die?
Can you look into his eyes and miss
The tears that he does cry?
Can you look into his eyes and feel
The pain that he has felt?
Can you lok into his eyes and blame him
For the lot he has been dealt?

Can you try to feel the pain he's borne
Ever since he was small?
Do you realize he has feelings, too,
Or do you not see that at all?
Can you try to understand him
Or for you would that be too hard?
Can you look at his sensitive spirit
And notice that it has been marred?

If you would take but one moment
And see his beauty, not only the bad,
You would realize that he is a person
Who so many sorrows has had.
You maybe do not want to take the chance
But you just may get a surprise
And see something you did not notice before
If you would look into his eyes.
