a rhyme for a lost little girl (idea) by etouffee

^{if the keys in my hand, Turned a lock of your hair}

^{I would walk through the glance, But I'd stop at the stair}

^{I'd follow it down, To the very last step}

^{And I'd wait by the room where your secrets are kept}

As noon shades to night

I'll invite you to shed

all your compulsion and sorrow unsaid

if one comes before two

and three before four

and if you'll take the rains

then I'll drown you in grace

when my tongue becomes tired

and I can no longer speak

^{Then I'd pause for a time}

^{And I'd look at your world}

^{And I'd fashion a rhyme}

^{for a lost little girl}
