Katie B.

iNNOCENCE IMPARTED

Blonde locks drape rosy, cherub cheeks

Delicate lips part for breath and

Her smile warms the ages

Eyes blink and bat in an even cadence

Dainty fingers drip with the juice of too tart apples

Tips of toes peek out of white, tight sandals

Her tender laugh marks her delight in being

Innocence avails her and

Time would best be served standing still
