Inner Child

Her hair was golden brown, and she
Had the smile of an angel
Id often sit and wonder what she thought

She had a laugh that rang like tiny silver bells as it
Hopped, skipped, jumped on the beat 
Of my heart

I try to recall her smile, it fades
At times and i can no longer hear
The echo of her Joy

She is gone from me and i am forgetting
Even the taste of her name
As it rolls off my tongue at times

Little one i long for, i did not miss
Yet she haunts me
But she no longer smiles
