Where the child can be free

I can feel the heat upon my face
Laughing in it's flowing grace
Whilst the flower melts within my hand
as it returns to the crying land

My imperfect words too often spoken
keep the perfect heart from being broken
Lapping greedily at a tender light
and it dims more with every night

A careless mind with equal lips
that drink with slow and careful sips
from a pool i've not seen before
and I pray to see such nevermore
