ON FEEBLE KNESS

It was the way he would speak to me

his big brown eyes hidden so many lies

it was an eye-opener to who he really is

and what kind of life he lived...

he takes my hands and asks me to forgive

he spoke about life and death

and how he did his very best

he cried to me on feeble knees

as he would speak...his words cut deep

but when I looked you in the eyes

what I have seen was no surprise to me

I saw his true act of love running faintly

collection of deep thoughts thrown upon a big pile

of animosity, regret, disdain

but underneath it, all- was a hint of pride

hidden behind your eyes.
