Whose eyes?

“Whose Eyes?”

In my eyes,

you’re someone I look up to

and an example for me to follow.

In your eyes,

you know the mistakes you have made

and the places you fall short.

In His eyes,

He sees the good

and forgives the bad.

In my eyes,

you’re a woman of wisdom –

a place to turn for advice.

In your eyes,

you know the life you’ve lived

and the difficult lessons you have learned.

In His eyes,

He knows every scene is part of the story,

one He wrote years ago.

In my eyes,

you honor me

by being my friend.

In your eyes,

you don’t always understand

the significance of your role.

In His eyes,

He’s delighted with the life you live

and glorified when your faith is shared.

In my eyes,

you’re a friend

worthy of respect.

In your eyes,

you wonder if you’re deserving

and thus downplay the praise.

In His eyes,

He sees a daughter He created,

a child whom He loves.

Through whose eyes do you see when you look at others and even when you look at yourself?
