The Loss Of Innocence 
I look and stare up above, I await the coming rain, I wish it would wash away the pain. |
 I sing a song to soothe the hurt. I seek some balm to use as salve. I wonder why I cry. |

I mourn the loss of innocence, I long for carefree days when I could giggle with the wind. | © 2000 by Zernalyn Palmares |
