Seven Days

She was so young and so afraid

Of a world she could not understand

For seven days I held her close

Like a child in the palm of my hand

There were, seven tears to wipe away

Seven fears to keep at bay

Seven words for me to say

In seven days

The strands of wisdom twist and curl

Soft flame in the warmth of my heart

Oh, essential words that lightly fall

Like snow through the mist of her thought

The gentle rain of innocence

That flows from her ebony eyes

Another secret moment shared

To be part of the rest of our lives

There were, seven dreams, to live for real

Seven streams, of hope revealed

Seven ways, of love to feel

In seven days

We are the only ones who know

Her smile was poetry

Her soul, she showed it to me

The dawning of the seventh day

Saw her shine like the radiant skies

I knew that she would leave me then

Bright hope in her ebony eyes

And now I watch her dance before the world

Soft flame in the movements she makes

Man, all those secret moments shared

Stay warm in my thoughts everyday, remembering

Seven tears, wiped away

Seven fears, kept at bay

Seven words, you heard me say

Seven dreams, to live and play

Seven streams, of hope revealed

Seven waves, of love we feel

Seven days, memory of seven days

(Seven days)

Seven days

Seven days

Seven days
