FACE OF A MAN


 Look my way, stare into these ageing eyes of green,
 I've seen,

 Hair of a lost blonde, long gone, reflections' of 
 Change.

 Once whiskers' of a darkness, now a different 
 Shade of life,

 A smile always the same, if not hidden beneath 
 Sorrow or pain.

 Lines appear on this face when seen through the days'
 Sunlight,

 Growing older but never so old as to give up the search,
 I'm searching.

 Through the tears, laughter finds a face of love wanted, 
 My face,

 Look my way, this is the face of a man, expressions' of 
 Thought shown through.

 More than a stare, a smile, or many pictures combined 
 From A world of time,

 Take a closer look, give one more stare, understand the 
 Face of a man.
