For the Guilty

She is always an innocent soul

   she is welcomed the earth

   over she goes;

To sit among flowers wide

   with love in her eyes,

   sitting on old shoals ----

Her feet dipped in the foam of evening tide,

   washing away her fears 

   in the white little waves....

And marigolds to fix her self esteem,

   picked every eve in a wee-quaint-glade,

   little Cinderella slippers,

   cotton candy knickers;

Innocence sits among the flowers wide

   with love in her eyes,

   (and she is unafraid)
