The Charm of Innocence

She was pretty and seemed full of innocence,

Sometimes so firm while sometimes unaware of her own existence

Not much about her would you find sparkling,

Yet she had it all, that one could call charming

She didn't speak much, yet she said it all

Not the steadiest of walker, yet never ready to fall

She kept believing there was nothing she could not face

And there was not one dream that she wouldn't want to chase

Yet I hoped she was a bit more circumspect,

Cause the world outside was evil and could mean threat

But she was confident and she thought she knew it all,

So much so, that I thought it was probably just not my call

Life sometimes is more than just life

And as things moved on, my world seemed full of strife

It was time that things were thought upon

As the wise man rightly said "You can't let things just go on"

So I wished her luck as I bid good-bye

And I prayed she always had only good people nearby
