Jenny

Flashes of gold flecked with green
Pull me into their deep seas
With a sense of truth unseen
She laughs with her gentle tease
Her entire face seems to glow
With a sense of clean purity
Youthfulness that you will know
As she makes her whimsical plea
Forever abides within her sighs
Coloring her face with innocent grace
Soft silken skin where true joy applies
Naivety that no baseness can erase
She is the child that colors the world
With bright sunshine yellow and gold
That welcomes the morning whirled
With wisdom untainted by life’s mold

This is a gorgeous little tribute to Jenny. Is she a daughter perhaps? My sister's name is this.
