Innocence – – a poem inspired by a photo.





        

 INNOCENCE

Well you can always tell it by the joy upon her face;
That strife or pain or consequence has not yet meant disgrace;
That there is joy and happiness for taking without cost
before that simple beauty of her childhood’s ever lost

How sad that she must face the truth – the ugly world’s mistakes;
How sad that she must change and lose that innocence God makes;
For there in front of everyone for all of us to see:
That innocence of childhood just the way it’s meant to be.
