He confronts the world with courage
And a little bit of doubt
You can tell he hasn’t figured
Just what life’s all about.
He believes in love immortal
In family, and in God
He understands that beauty
Can be a cruel façade
He’s young, but he has lived some
Knows that truth can lurk in lies
But, he hasn’t seen enough of life
To dim the sparkle in his eyes
Stormy blue encircles black
With a ring of darker light
And when he laughs eyes sparkle true
But anger makes rare ice ignite.
He’s frank about the future
And knows just what he wants
He’s a doer and a seeker
Not plagued by doubters haunts.
He’s old enough to know
That love is worth the fee
And anything with value
Won’t be found for free
He loves to entertain folks
Always ready with a joke
But he’ll lend a hand with fixing
Anything that’s broke
A pair of blue eyes stared
From a picture, filled with awe
I never met the man
But this is who I saw.
