GOLDEN (A Tribute)

Golden

Her hair was golden

Waves like the sea

Eyes like sapphire

Golden

Her heart was golden

Take you in

Like her own

Love you home

Golden

Words like honey

Could wrap you up

Make you feel wanted

Golden

Sunshine in her smile

Mischief in her glance

Open arms

Those open arms

Golden

Like a key

To a lock

She could not open

A box armored

Golden

Like meadows

She longed to run in

But captives don’t run

Captives pray

Wish the day away

Hope dies fast

When monsters loom

But through it all

She was golden

Like a promise sure

Like sunrise, sunset

Golden, golden.
