Innocence- An Original Song by Holley217

i wrote this song in memory of my sister, Rachael, who committed suicide on April 13, 2011.

love you baby girl, you'll always be in my heart <3

I’m five years old again

And I walk across the street

Buy some of that sweet lemonade

To shield me from the heat

And now we’re running through the sprinkler

The water cascading down my back

And then you spray me with the hose

I laugh as I run from your attack

 

You are the essence of spring

The dew on my window

The sweet sound of laughter ringing, ringing

You are the smile that spreads

Across that little girl’s face

As she blows her first bubble and watches it

As it floats up, up, up and away

 

Please show me you are here

Let your laugh fill up my room

Go back to when we still held hands

In the dark to fight back fears

And now please watch over me

Be my voice when I can’t speak

Let’s stay up late just one last time

And sing till we fall asleep

 

You are the essence of spring

The dew on my window

The sweet sound of laughter ringing, ringing

You are the smile that spreads

Across that little girl’s face

As she blows her first bubble and watches it

As it floats up, up, up and away

 

The wind softly blowing through my hair

You are every last freckle

Tiny dots of imperfection

Yet so genuine

 

You are a tear running down a cheek

You are a girl so nervous she cannot speak

You are a boy who reaches for his girl’s hand

You are innocence
