Once I Smiled

Once I smiled a smile so rare

Loved a girl with golden hair

Acted like a human boy

That would pause on clouds of joy

Ran through fields like a child of the ground

Kissed and touched with a silent sound

Swung from trees like a monkey pup

Saw the world from downside up

Then reality came crushing

Drowned my joy with human pain

"Don't go"

"Must go"

Never again

Once I smiled a smile so rare

Loved a girl with golden hair

Ran through fields like a child of the ground

Kissed and touched with a silent sound

Now inside I keep my pearl

An image of a golden girl

Locked away in a secret part

Covered and heard in a seashell heart
