Naïveté

by Nettersue

Laughing giggles where did they go? Frowns are the only thing right now we know What happened to us? why did we grow So far apart like warm earth beneath snow Bring back the light to warm our days The cold is mean and bleak. The seasons change too quickly The days turn into weeks Let our hearts be light, For it's in the dark they seize And make our days so painful That all we see are trees The trees they are so big and tall Obscuring the simple path The forest awaits with its wisdom If we can avoid the wrath The wrath with which we self destroy The path we've already worn The one made of our history And of the vows we've sworn. Let the forest be our goal Who cares about the trees? With love and faith and kindness May we navigate with ease And let us recollect all the times we've had along the way-- The good, the bad, the in between They all have things to say We are better navigators than at times we seem Get out your map and compass And lead us to our dream
