If I could gather innocence And tuck it safe away Locked up inside a treasure box Safeguarded night and day I’d never more unlatch the chest Nor even take a peek Nor would my spoken word divulge The secret that I keep For purity of spirit Is a gift of golden worth And if I were to gather it From all across the earth It’s splendor would not match This single moment filled with grace And simplicity of truth displayed Across your little face Elizabeth Santos |

My but they are all growing up way too fast Liz. I sure wish I was on the train with N and C, maybe next year? Love you! I love the fact that some adults carry that innocence into adulthood, and let that little light shine. Be-oot-te-ful |

Awe..this was so sweet and what a treasure they indeed are, especially with their innocense..you do want to lock them away to protect them from what for them will eventually be a cruel world that they will inherit....it's imparative that they are built strong...Loved the rhythm and rhyme schemed in this, as well as the imagery....PS |
