The baby.
The baby's eyes are just full of love for their mother.
These eyes know they're loved and cared for.
Eyes that know their mother will feed them and keep them safe.
These eyes are oblivious.
Secure eyes.
The toddler.
The toddlers eyes know something's wrong.
Eyes that say my life has changed and things are different.
Eyes that show concern but eyes that do not have a full understanding.
These eyes are worried.
Frightened eyes.
The teenager.
The teenagers eyes know part of the story.
Their eyes are eyes that have worked out what's happening.
These are eyes that show that part of the burden has been put upon their shoulders.
These are eyes that have had to grow up very quickly,
perform to a level they've never performed to before.
These eyes now carry a load.
Responsible eyes.
The mother.
The mothers eyes are scared.
The mothers eyes are eyes that show the fear and know that this is war and just what war can mean.
These eyes show the full weight of responsibility.
These eyes know their partner has had to go away to fight and may not return.
These are eyes that show a deep concern,
and these eyes have a grievance.
These eyes show hate!
A deep hate towards one.
Hateful eyes.
