When we both have won

You innocent and tired,

Body scorched in the heat,

Look for a freebie from me,

Refusing to acknowledge defeat 

And I retreat into a shell

Not knowing what much I can do

And inward rings the bell

Of love and kindness sings true.

I whisper a prayer for your brown eyes,

Your little body in loined disguise,

And I wish I were more wise,

Would a few pennies from me really suffice?

I don't count you amongst the lost,

I know your journey is long and the road dark

And even though I can't let go of even a little now

I hope I'll meet you one day sparked,

Not having to recount the sadness when

All I wanted to was to hold you nestled,

Your golden hair glistening in the sun,

I'll meet you on a day we have both won.
