Through those eyes I saw

Through those eyes I saw,

Numerous people gathered around me.

I didn’t recognise them for I was small,

And gripped tightly in my mother’s arms.

Through those eyes I saw,

The fun I had while playing.

I was detached from the world around me,

As I was busy playing with my dolls.

Through those eyes I saw,

The fun and experience of adolescence

I had started to understand the norms,

Because they said I was growing.

Through those eyes I saw,

The pain of the grown-ups and

I began to understand the complex relations,

Because I was in my twenties.

Through those eyes I saw,

A new relation building

Demanding various roles

And forcing responsibilities.

Through those eyes I saw

Happiness once again holding me

I was holding a new life

Fast asleep in my arms.

Through those eyes I saw

Various situations and turmoil,

Still, I was happy and content

Because my life had been a fruitful endeavor.
