Only With Their Eyes

Paul McGurk
Mar 8, 2022

When you were a child

Did you ever pick flowers because you loved them

And had someone tell you they were only weeds

Did you feel sad or embarrassed

Because someone else could see only with their eyes

And not with your heart

And like your flowers

That innocent piece

Of your heart full of awe

Died away
