Magic eyes, deep and cool as the moon shining on a sacred pool in the forest

Observe the world with wonder and sadness

Shining with innocent wisdom since the day you were born

Your rare smile showers blessings when it appears

Chasing away those solemn clouds in your eyes

Healing our wounded hearts for a while

The frown that too often furrows your young brow

Lends age to your girl-woman face

Until it is smoothed away with a joke or a hug

You look like you come from nowhere and everywhere

A beautiful blend of your exiled ancestors

Who all stand behind you, ready to help you get back up

When the world knocks you down.
