Subtle Joy

Wonder flows to those who seek, who see the joy in life
With open eyes and heart thrown wide, they feel but little strife
Smile is naught but twist of lips, unless it lights the eyes
Humor comes from deep within, its joy illume the skies

What joy has passed these youthful eyes, that cause her vibrant look
Simple times in simple life, yet thoughts could fill a book
With brilliant sights and words to match, she sees her world and smiles
She speaks not oft, nor says her piece, yet soul has laid the miles

Silence is a sharpened blade, she wields as subtle knife
Cutting through the toils of youth, she breaths the breath of life
Sundered be are those who cry, that she must drop this shroud
Of youth and joy and subtle things, to make her parents proud

Lips turn up in gentle smirk, she knows that magic lives
Loves them both with all her heart, their loss of sight forgives
For if she must she sees for all, the wonders of this day
Subtle be the smile within, her soul will have its say
