Innocence in a little girl's kiss, A treasure I hold, pure and bliss. Love from those close can be so rare, Amidst the world's cold, I seek love's care. The ones I love, do they truly see, My heart's yearning for sincerity. They watch as I stumble, make mistakes, Yet, I long for the love my heart aches. I wish for love, as I give in return, A flame that within me forever will burn. To see them rise, their lives less confined, In this quest for love, I'm intertwined. In this journey of life, as I strive and I live, I seek the love and warmth that my heart can give. May the love I yearn for, in time, appear, In the hearts of those I hold dear. -HM
