I know those searching eyes
they match my own
looking for a kindness
a tenderness returned
every pair of eyes
yours meet
is an opportunity
to find the old soul
yours are searching for

Poems for Warriors
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Ps 147:3
Poems for Warriors 
I love those last three lines, especially “the old soul / yours are searching for.” Some might hear that phrase and misinterpret the beauty and wealth of an old soul. It’s not about years or age, which some might see in a negative light, but depth and richness like Tom Bombadil, Treebeard, or Gandalf. (Couldn’t help but reference Tolkien!)

Our eyes tell someone else a great deal about ourselves and the special moment we are sharing.
