Child of innocence, I miss your sunny days <br />We joyously frolicked in extended plays <br />Ever since you've left the scene <br />The streets are lonely, dark and mean <br /> <br />Child of innocence, return to me now <br />With your simple smile show them how <br />This world once again can respond to your glance <br />And heartbeats flutter to the rhythm of your dance <br /> <br />Child of innocence, your elegance, your beauty <br />Beckons me now beyond the call of duty <br />Come fly with me far and above <br />Over the mountains in the land of love <br /> <br />Child of innocence, messenger of joy <br />You've touched my heart without a ploy <br />My soul is ablaze with a flagrant fire <br />To change the world is my deepest desire.<br /><br />Heather Stephens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-of-innocence-2/
