I am Water #Wattys2016

Bright

As a babe

I looked up at a wondrous world

That was far from my grasp

I reached up with small hands

To a star, a shining diamond

I knew the star far to well

It was bright like my mother's smile;

And my father's twinkling eyes

~

This was the life of an orphan

Remembering small details of them

Comparing it to something I could never reach

Just like them    

~

My life may be crazed

Just like the one who committed the crime

But  I follow their reminiscence like the North Star

I let it guide me through it all

~
