The child who’s lost her hold as age deludes her skeptic girl
Fate
knows, and her dreams for you behold optimistic, girl
Where,
pray tell, have you misplaced your wildly budding mind’s eye?
Where
dreams no longer blossom and betray eccentric, girl
Never
ordinary at play any given young day
Reaps
older, though rounded spirit -the altruistic girl
The
blaze of Life’s to-do lists lets Time’s miser furl its fists
Bares
a soul who’s lost her magic –a veiled artistic girl
And
I, Marcella, need just stop and look beyond the glare
It’s
always been in your child’s eyes to be prolific, girl!
