Stephanie Schneiderman Recognize
Her eyes weathered deep and full
and mine wide open for the first time
I could never know what you know
I could never see what you’ve seen
and in a world of unfamiliar eyes
I could recognize
I could recognize your heart
I could recognize your heart
and I drift thru the days
trying to remember your face
trying to recall your eyes
I memorized
Are you calloused deep in
have tears cut canyons in your skin
and with your son at your side
and love in your eyes
are you stronger even then even when
