So soft, so innocent
yet eyes that are wide
in wonder
Full of energy
eyes enraptured,
chasing butterflies
Restless young dreams
wings testing the air,
growing up
Cascading heart's flutter
eyes filled with starlight
a young woman's flight
Calming days
yet eyes that still shine
with burning desires
Slower days filled with wisdom
longing for days gone by
life's flame, glowing embers
Heart has calmed
eyes are closed
and once again
Serenity, peaceful sleep
and that sweet innocent
smile
These are the days of our life;
the 'circle of life'
