Innocence
INNOCENCE
Innocence,
You, clear and clean water of
Consciousness,
Pure thought of our unadulterated
Mind,
Devoted instrument of divine
Will,
Born with us you were,
In our early years
Every step of ours you
Tenderly attended,
Always,
The road of virtue
Advising us to take,
BUT
Little by little,
As years passed by,
The path of honesty we lost
From our sight
And
You, Oh innocence,
Slowly but persistently
Were chased away,
Now,
Without you, our hearts
A desolate place has
Grown to be,
An unbearable desert
Of regret has become,
Thus
We desperately pray
A drop of your virtuous dew upon
Our sinful lips to fall,
Yearning
Children to become
Once more!
