Sandbox

Sitting there

Playing in the sand

She sings softly

Songs of her favorite band

It is ludicrous

It is so unreal

Her words are just that

So surreal

People stare

And think she is crazy

But her imagination

Always amazed me

Her outfits never dull

The bright colors

And unique flare

Brought many followers

Her eyes look so deep

And full of interest

They look at the sea

With glimmers of water mist

Yet this little child

Cares of nothing less than life

It makes no difference to her

Is she is single or to be made a wife

She seems so peaceful

Free with innocence

She’s free from guilt

In this world of decadence

She grows up more

A teenager now

New challenges await her

Her life will change somehow

But nothing gets to her

She has on this shield

It protects her from everything

That is so real

But even though

She is not older

She sits in the sand

Finding ways of no other
