Oh! those curious eyes,
And the joyous voice,
The ever rejoinder response,
Every moment to rejoice.

The vibrant heart,
Melting others’ hideous look,
Jutting out with agog,
Walking with life,
In each other’s arms crook.

She exudes restlessness,
Yet never refrain from beaconing life,
She is beyond this world,
One moment she is here,
You blink she disappears in a trice.

Sun, clouds, stars, and moon,
She has all in her fragile hold,
And I watch her agape,
As the surprises gradually unfold.
