Tear Stained Faces

(* Real life raising a child w/SN)

your tear stained face

your hair all a mess

your wild eyes peering at me

wondering if I see you
wondering if I understand

oh how I try

patience comes and goes

but love abounds

tears begin to stream down my face 

I turn so you won't see my hurt

my heart all a mess 

my eyes must mirror the doubt

both of us carrying such strength
the bond between us immense
our hearts' emotions are entwined
thoughts are portrayed with a simple look

our tear stained faces gaze back at one another

your questioning thoughts and my doubtfulness has vanished

replaced by a peace filled love

I see you

I understand
