A hopeful heart – handing out illusions – <br />Worn atop a satin sleeve; <br />Naivety was dripping out delusions – <br />'Twas an open gash – to so deceive <br />A little further, such a pretty mind. <br /> <br />Her whitened innocence, rare today; <br />And lest we ruin another soul, <br />Leave and let it be – we'll pray the trust <br />Will emanate a loving whole <br />For our appreciation; hear the plea.<br /><br />Mark R Slaughter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hopeful-heart/
