A little girl in a big city
Wide-eyed and gay
Learning to laugh, learning to live
Seizing every day
She first heard of love in the books she read
In sagas legendary and in poetry esprit
She set out to seek her revelation
The magical truth that would set her free
But the world was unkind
And love here, a mess
Painful, tainted, egotistical
Calculative, a game of chess
Dejected, lost, hurt, solitary
She all but gave up her quest
Was it too much to ask for, she wondered
Head in hands, her soul in unrest
Then she looked up, her eyes opened
Witnessing a world she hadn't seen before
Epiphany struck, realization hit
Her faith was restored, and hope galore
For she saw love for the first time
When sunlight touched the expectant ground
When flowers blossomed, when stars twinkled
Raindrops caressed her, and love was found
She looked at the moon, glorious and divine
Its luminescence spoke to her that night
Open your lovely heart child, it said
Let go of the past, and let love shine bright
