sometimes wide and eager
other times with sad and vacant ones
sometimes still its hard for them
those tired heavy eyes want to close
but still they stare
They take it all in
facial expressions, print, illustrations
hand gestures weather, classroom changes,
nonverbal cues, routines and directions
They convey to me joy and sadness
hunger and fright
anger confusion and comprehension
amazing depth already
Their eyes bore deeply on my soul
always looking, looking and needing,
needing and searching, noticing and hoping
brown and dark
Their eyes
