Sad eyes

I see you cry

As you wonder why

You search your soul

For what will make you whole

You continue to pray

As you get through the day

You wonder what you’ll gain

Through your heartache and pain

You search for a light

You can follow day and night

You just keep going

All while knowing

You’ll find something rare

Showing God is there

You continue to stumble

But experience makes you humble

You can’t see

What’s truly meant to be

Sad eyes

I see your journey

It’s meant for you only

It’s the purpose

Lying at the surface

You wonder how you’ll sit still

As you accept God’s will

You try desperately to learn

Your stripes you’ll earn

You struggle with fear

Not knowing God is near

You remember your past

You make every moment last

You search for solid ground

What will turn your life around

You travel far

To reach a star

You wonder what’s true

How you’ll make it through

You learn to stand

As you hold God’s hand

To no one’s surprise

Sad eyes
