Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina. It appears black because light rays entering the pupil are either absorbed by the tissues inside the eye directly, or absorbed after diffuse reflections within the eye that mostly miss exiting the narrow pupil.

In humans the pupil is round, but other species, such as some cats, have vertical slit pupils, goats have horizontally oriented pupils, and some catfish have annular types. In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop. The image of the pupil as seen from outside the eye is the entrance pupil, which does not exactly correspond to the location and size of the physical pupil because it is magnified by the cornea. On the inner edge lies a prominent structure, the collarette, marking the junction of the embryonic pupillary membrane covering the embryonic pupil.

I'll Be There

by: Bubbles

Most of the time life can make you happy
Spinning on a merry-go-round
Most of the time laughing and parties
You got your friends all around
But when you're sad and lonely
You know you can phone me
Anytime when you're feeling down
O la la don't be unhappy
O la la dry your tears away
O la la Monday to Sunday
O la la I'll be there
I'll be there I'll be there
Whenever you need me
I'll be there
Once in a while when the rain keeps falling
You don't know what you're gonna do
Once in a while when your heart is calling
And nobody will listen to you
