I see deep brown eyes all around me. The man I love looks at me longingly when we share an intimate moment, with his deep brown eyes. My little girl looks up at me with a sparkle in her deep brown eyes as she laughs at something silly. My baby boy stares up at me in amazement, with his deep brown eyes. Of course it is clear to you by now that my children have their father's eyes, no big deal right? Wrong. It means so much more than that to me. My husband is away so much because of work, and getting to look into the eyes of my children every day provides me with such comfort. All three of them have the same eyes, but they have each added their own uniqueness to their own set. It shouldn't be so amazing to me I guess, but it is. I love their eyes so much. Our eyes can say so much about us, and in my opinion are little reflections of the things we've seen and felt throughout our lives. But only God can see deep enough into our hearts. Only He knows what is deeply rooted in our very souls; only He knows what makes us who we are as His children. And boy does He have something planned for the people I love. I can see it in their eyes. The love I have felt through God's presence in my life, and the love He has blessed me with in my husband and children, are ever present in every single day of my life. I am so grateful, and so deeply in love. I look into the eyes of my baby boy as he explores the contours of my face, and into the eyes of my little girl when she is telling me a silly joke, and into the eyes of my husband as he expresses his love for me; and I realize every day... if God is love, and He has blessed me with the love of my family; then God must have deep brown eyes. I know when I finally get to jump into the arms of God on that fateful day when I leave this earth, I will be staring into a very powerful, very beautiful, very unique set of deep brown eyes. Deep brown eyes that will reflect pure love, forgiveness, joy, and hope.
