Saddened Youth

Folder: 
2008 Poetry

Innocence of youth with eyes open wide,

as her palms are held flat against her chest.

Happiness and love should not be denied,

as long as her heart beats beneath her breast.



Seeing miracles that life has to share,

and experience for many long years.

Hopefully without a start or a scare,

for we’re here to protect her from her fears.



Down turned lips flushed and laid upon her face,

golden skin turned deepened beneath the sun.

Standing there tall and lean with all her grace,

time has come for her to go have some fun.



Smiles brightly painted never ending,

are the wishes of which I am sending.
