'It's for the good of the village'
I remind myself, over and over
But then, why does it hurt so much?
To let go of this precious gift…
A blessing, and yet to some...a curse.
Not to me
They don't see what I see
I look into the eyes of one, full of promise
Eyes of one who will carry on
With strength and determination, letting nothing stop him
From getting in the way of his dreams
So,little one, in my arms you lay
At this moment... a crossroad in time
My desire is to stay with you, and see who you become
But I know... it's impossible
One of must live, while the other cannot
I must go, but you must survive
So, go forth, my son
Show them that the eyes holding my gaze now
Aren't ones of evil or of hatred,
No matter what may dwell inside…
They're eyes of love and wonder
Eyes of hope
