Innocence,
that place
only a child’s
imagination knows.
Where the angels
and the demons
draw upon them,
a daily discovery
Of right
and wrong
of weak
and strong
Do they belong?
Innocence
that place
we left
long ago

For C & J – two beautiful people
She tries so hard, just to be
The one she wants him to see
Through all the ups and downs
And the turmoil that swirls around
He smiles and laughs his boyish grin
Knowing well, from deep within
Her love for him shall never waver
This is ultimately what will save her
From wondering if she’s got it right
When at times, she’s up all night
Just watching as he breathes, she sighs
Questioning the reasons why
She doubts herself when she can see
The fine young man he’s grown to be
