"INNOCENCE"

Where has your precious presence gone?
Where gone that simple innocence so pure?
It's gone and vanished with the ticking of the clock
Into a far and distant place - another time

Gone and lost - that fit - camaraderie we knew
A sweetest blend of pairing, sharing, caring
That was a very gift from God Himself
Where does it dwell? Where has it gone?

We were like special sister ships
With engines thrumming a perfect tune
Beating rhythmically as one
In the waters of our lives - it's gone

We were like ships set out from home
In perfect sync - with matching beats
Whose engines' ceased - and now we drift
Apart, alone, that loving link - it's lost

The innocence I knew is gone
It's crumbled into dust, blown on the wind
Dispersed and carried on the air
I pray with fervor, God, that it return
