'Youthful Innocence', by Opeline Kellett
Pinnacle of innocence
that child of five
strawberry eyes
a smile inside
that sweet voice that tinkles
the charm of her tears
the love in her vision
that no one could fear
She chuckles in the morning
to her mum and her pop
don't let her change they whisper
it would hurt too much
Her radiance and youth
carefree, not a fluster inside
don't let her go they plead
don't let her leave her immaculate life.
