Bright Eyes

This is a face I find mesmerizing. For some odd reason she seems to touch my heart nearly to tears.

Look at those bright eyes. Her round cheeks and Madonna smile charm me to the core.

Who was she? Was she the happy, delightful soul she appears to be? How long did she live, a few years or to a ripe old age?

I like to picture her dancing, with merry laughter and a high flush to her cheeks. Her mother must have adored her. How could any one around her not be delighted with this child.

Somewhere she lives on. Somewhere in a different plane, and maybe someday I will know the story behind those bright eyes.
