Vision of happiness

Tenderly reaching down to meet the hand upturned
Scooping up a vision of happiness
With soft brown curls and chocolate orbs
They gaze into mine with such love
Carefully I hold her making her feel safe
For a moment I feel at peace
They know not of the terrors lurking
Only curious about new play things
Smiles that can brighten the darkest of days
Helping you forget what was wrong in the first place
For that second
Everything's alright
Even if the world is falling apart
Everything's alright
When you are in my arms
