Ocean Waves At Sunrise
Light in her angel eyes, shines innocence, sweet and pure
Glistening ocean waves at sunrise not subtle but audacious
Pools of light reflect the truth when her words do not assure
Irises full of gold flecks and green, the sun and sea engage us
Eyes of wonder enlightened more by her precocious smile
Secrets concealed beneath their splendor, sensitive and vivacious
Compassionate heart, a smile given to comfort those with trials
Questioning mind, mature and wise trying to right all wrongs
A friendly girl, her gracious eyes invite others to stay a while
Beautiful girl of nine years, do not relinquish youth for fear
Your ocean soul flows through your eyes, infinite and free
The light of the Lord will shine on you and dry every flowing tear
Ocean waves at sunrise, your soul will always be a beacon of light ~
Shining through your eyes for all to see
