The Girl with My Spirit

Oh, the girl with my spirit
How she laughs!
She jumps in the snow
and her eyes dance like a child.

She is like me
The way I am
Was
Once

before I caved within
and closed my eyes
and the tears flowed out
and just tried to hang tight
and survive.

...

Here she is
The second chance
Throwing her head back
and wow that laugh!
So like a little girl
So like innocence
So like I was one time
So long ago that I forget

until I meet her on a day 
like today
and I recognize
that joyful spirit
and her playful way.
