Lorrie

Lorrie was here on the day,
She came of age at seventeen.
In my arms peacefully she lay,
She looked as if in a dream.

I looked into her eyes and said,
"You know all the things you want,
And all the challenges you've met,
Have crumbled as your dreams unfold."

She smiled as I told her,
Things she already knew.
She said, "I like to hear that,
Because it comes from you."
