Innocent
I’m walking down sidewalk, coming home from school, when I saw her face. Pretty face, sweet smile, on her little sun-filled face. I look at her and see that she’s still innocent, she doesn’t know, she’s still gold. I watch her blond bouncy curls as she walks by me. And I can only hope, that she stays innocent. That she stays gold, before the tide of time takes her innocence away.


The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by Robert Frost's poem "Stay Gold" It was after reading S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders"

This is very deep. Too many people burn in the tragedies of this world. It would be a better place if all of us were still innocent. But, if you have a pure heart, don't let this world get you down, don't let them take your innocence

This is so meaningful, and it's so strange that you got inspire by a whole different topic. Nice job! :)
