Pretty Blue Eyes

Pretty blue eyes, where have you gone,

with your hopes and dreams that you

rely on.

 

Don’t grow up to quickly, yes life is too

fast, just savor the moment, try and

make it last.

 

The world can be cruel, so very unkind

you’re such a delicate flower, just keep

that in mind.

 

Live your life freely, learn how to be

strong, take my advice and pass it along.

Pretty blue eyes, stay shiny and gold,

endearing and special not weary and

old.

This moved me. I truly have nothing more to say...

Very nice - tender and sweet. Only one thing I picked up - in the first line of the last stanza "Live your live freely, learn how to be" - I'm pretty sure 'live' should be spelt 'life'

Beautiful work.

beautiful, don't we all want to grow up and then went we are we want to be young again,

one thing though on the line 'your such a delicate flower' i think if you remove the word such, it would flow better.

a beautiful invitation to the youngling to experience each breath and not rush~ but to take time to explore within as without~ brings to mind the card I gave my daughter last month for her graduation~ it reads

"Do what you love~it's what the world needs from you~it's what you were meant to do~"
=)~
