Laura Alaniz

Blonde eyes

Blonde eyes
To match her hair
Life is mean
She counts her blessings
Hopes for the best
Believes the best
I wish the world was
As she sees it
Even when she feels bad
Ready for a joke
When she’s playful
Her eyes go up
Her chin goes down
Stubbornly optimistic
In a cruel world
