My Fountain of Joy

My eyes are like a fountain 
And I move as if cold
It's unbearable 
The feeling inside my frozen heart
As frozen as the iceberg that sunk the Titanic
As frightened as the men in the trenches 
As sick as the dying children of now

For you now, walking does not work without help
With the balance of two strong men, you walk to were I last see you

Before your struggle to stand and to move
Your smile once sun but now like clouds
Not to worry others you say 
Not to worry your mother you say by come to learn and risk your health
And worry us all

I'm not there to see it happen but only to come when the strong man streams
I immediately thought you fell
And though I did not see I knew before and I run
Looking around to find something to refill you fountain eyes and steal the closest thing to help

Your eye are like a fountain
And you move as if cold
It's unbearable 
Your eyes flutter as if a beautiful butterfly 
But I almost loose sight when the men came to take you away
I have not since seen you but I know your ok
You told me so 

But my heart still feels as frozen as the iceberg that sunk the titanic
As frightened as the men in the trenches
As sick as the dying children of now

Your beautiful sunshine smile and butterfly eyes

My fountain of joy
