Vignettes These Special Hazel Eyes of Mine by Erin
Daddy has special green eyes that can change to baby blue, just like when a ship is lost at sea and they find their way home. Mamma, on the other hand, has the true brown eyes of the Cherokee. I came from a family where you only have two choices of eyes. From daddy you either have blue or brown, from mamma brown or green. But not I, I was born with hazel eyes that can change colors by my mood. When the sun shines my eyes shine like when a dream catcher is at home blowing through the wind. Everyone wonders, wonders where did a crazy child like me get those special hazel eyes. Hazel eyes that have a passion for music and dance, hazel eyes that can smile even when the sun can not. “Behind these hazel eyes” Mamma always says. I can feel when people are sad, happy, and angry, but also people can see it in me too. Sometimes people can look into my hazel eyes and have the hardest time telling me a lie. But I just laugh, when they tell me so behind hazel eyes is a dancer with a crazy imagination, what I love to say is welcome to my world.
