END OF INNOCENCE 

THE END OF INNOCENCE CAME

ON A BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY

AS MY HEART SMILED AT HER

WATCHING HER  AT PLAY

RING AROUND A ROSY

HOP SCOTCH  IN THE SAND

TEA PARTIES  AND LAUGHTER 

LIFTING HER DAINTY HANDS

INNOCENT AND BEAUTIFUL

FACE OF ANGEL BRIGHT

BURNED YOUR  EYES INTO MY SOUL

TO WARM  ME IN THE NIGHT

DID THE END OF INNOCENCE FIND YOU

THROUGH THE EVIL HEART OF MAN

DID HE STEAL AWAY YOUR PURITY

AS ONLY EVIL CAN ?

DID THE END OF INNOCENCE LEAD YOU

QUICKLY TO GOD  ABOVE

WHERE HE GENTLY PULLED YOU IN HIS ARMS

AND COMFORTED YOU WITH HIS LOVE ?

PLEASE TELL ME THE END OF  INNOCENCE

WAS ERASED FROM YOUR HEART  AND SOUL

AND YOUR CHASING BUTTERFLIES AND MOONBEAMS

AND THAT YOU  WILL NEVER GROW OLD OR COLD

THAT ITS FOREVER  RING AROUND A ROSY

AND HOP SCOTCH IN THE SAND

TEA PARTIES AND CHILDREN'S LAUGHTER

AS YOU WAVE ME FAREWELL WITH

 YOUR  DAINTY HAND
