A tale of my step daughter
The room lightens as she walks in
all the movement around her stops
a lapse in time creates a transclucent glow
she is what they all want to be.

Breathless are they as they take in her beauty
her innocence draws them to the ground.
a child of six with everything in front of her
so many journeys to take and things to discover.

In awe and envy of her youth
they yield to her every movement
allowing her to reign over the entire room
she wonders what is so captivating about her.

Little does she know that her innocence is overwhelming
to those that lost it so long ago.
Soon enough she'll know the feeling
when she experiences how it feels to grow old.
