Gently I place it
All my innocence
Onto the fragile and humble
Into the meek and sweet.

Softly I propel it
All my innocence
Onto the speechless and beautiful
Into the young and vulnerable.

Clearly I send it forward
All my innocence
Onto a surface to adore it
Into a safe place to love it.

Wrongly I cast it from me
All my innocence
Onto an idol outside of me
Into an illusion I’ve made of me.

Finally when I find it in me
All my innocence
On to Heaven’s doorway
In to Heaven’s arms.
