Layla

 

I know a girl

Her name is Layla

She’s thin and fragile

Like a ballerina

She smiles with her eyes

And laughs with her heart

She cries with her soul

And says “I’m okay”

Her ideas are seeds

Her passion is the sun

Her sadness is the tears

That water from above

I know a girl

Her name is layla

She is strong and sturdy

Like a warrior

She smiles with her eyes

And laughs with her heart

She cries tears of joy

And says “I’m okay”
