Black Pearl Eyes

Your black pearl eyesMakes me smileTurning my sadness to peaceEvery time you grin at me Your beautiful faceInnocent with faithMakes me ride joy cloudsUnder sad shrouds. My 5 month Granddaughter, Ny'Kera, has pure black pearl eyes.You can see the light reflection of the things around her in them. I saw three light reflections and a green reflection from a tree behind me in The blackness of her eyes Awesome has to see it to believe it.

Oh lovely little doting mum, I like this tiny twinkle of a poem.

Ann of Norway Oh lovely little doting mum, I like this tiny twinkle of a poem. Are there two verses in this poem, it seems so as the third isn't connected for me, or is that your comment? Just being pernickerty:- "When life under sad shrouds."........ life's under... "Make me ride joy clouds"...Makes me "Every time you smile at me"......Every time you ...do would be enough the smile is established. "her eyes Awesome has to see it to believe it." ... is awesome......one has to see it etc. Yes I like it, I too remember a child just born, it looked hard at the surroundings as if seeing, when one knows it couldn't not perceive yet, and yet she turned out to be a very observant child!! Love t you and the dark eyed baby from Ann.
