Twinkles in the Eyes
Prompt:
Creation Saturday. A twinkling eye can mean many things. Write a poem about a twinkle in someone’s eye.


------------

no shadows on your face
but twinkles in the eyes
a smile wide
on your six-year-old self

you hold your head to the side
your gaze finds my face
is it because
you loved me more, then?

still, so becoming your smile is
and your eyes twinkle
when they find mine,
just like in that old photo,

Son!
