she was so young and so afraid
|
of a world she could not understand
|
for seven days I held her close
|
like a child in the palm of my hand
|
there were
|
|
seven tears
|
to wipe away
|
seven fears
|
to keep at bay
|
seven words
|
for me to say
|
in seven days
|
|
the strands of wisdom twist and curl
|
soft flame in the warmth of my heart
|
oh essential words that lightly fall
|
like snow thru the mist of her thought
|
the gentle rain of innocence
|
that flows from her ebony eyes
|
another secret moment shared
|
to be part of the rest of our lives
|
there were
|
|
seven dreams
|
to live for real
|
seven streams
|
of hope revealed
|
seven ways
|
of love to feel
|
in seven days
|
|
we are the only ones who know
|
her smile was poetry
|
her soul she showed it to me
|
|
the dawning of the seventh day
|
saw her shine like the radiant skies
|
I knew that she would leave me then
|
bright hope in her ebony eyes
|
(and now) I watch her dance before the world
|
soft flame in the movements she makes
|
and all those secret moments shared
|
stay warm in my thoughts everyday
|
|
remembering
|
|
seven tears
|
wiped away
|
seven fears
|
kept at bay
|
seven words
|
you heard me say
|
seven dreams
|
to live and play
|
seven streams
|
of hope revealed
|
seven waves
|
of love we feel
|
seven days
|
memory of seven days
