what’s yet to come
She is still a child
No idea what is yet to come
Happy, innocent and wild
She only knows freedom
She looks up at him with loving eyes
He looks at her the same
Time is infinite, moments everlasting
Until the next day came
You can’t see it in her eyes
In his either
But this moment was their last
As she walks out the door, smiling ear to ear
He shouts after her, “come back now, you hear!”
She says she will, no idea what is yet to come
The very next day he’s gone
The rest of her life has begun
Without him to guide her
Show her the way
All that’s left is the picture
Frozen in time, where they’ll forever lay
