Nature's Child

by Maria Reed-Shore



She dances away With nature at her feet A loner, to while away her hours Negative thoughts to defeat Dancing among the flowers Thinks of magical things Good things will happen ... a smile it brings She's a lonely child, wishing her life away For mommy and daddy, have gone astray She wishes they'd come back someday Till then ... she'll while away her hours Dancing in the wind.

Such a beautiful poem, Maria. Such a tribute to way too many of today's children.
