Ode to Innocence

You drape beauty under your protective arm,
Shielding it from all pain
And hiding it from harm,
So its perfection will forever remain.
You shine in the eyes of a child,
Who is wrapped in your embrace.
You sparkle in everyone who has smiled,
While you painted every face.
Carrying a warmth so rare,
You grow through the cracks of sorrow,
Blooming in secret everywhere
With the promise of a better tomorrow.
Oh, Innocence, why must we ever say goodbye?
I wish you would stay,
Whispering love with every sigh...
Oh, Innocence, please never go away.
