Borrowed Eyes
January 12, 2015
The love of life reflects in her eyes
Emerald pools with depths unknown
Youth and innocence arise
Like stars dancing in emerald skies
A voice filled with wonder of things not yet known
The love of life reflects in her eyes
One too young to be so wise
With a destiny not yet shown
Youth and innocence arise
Living in a universe without goodbyes
Skipping to a tune of her own
The love of life reflects in her eyes
Unbroken by a world of lies
Heart of child not yet grown
Youth and innocence arise
A life without consequence or reprise
A life on loan
The love of life reflects in her eyes
Youth and innocence arise
