Captive

The color of laughter
comes from your heart.
I see you and I am happy.
You are wise in your innocence,
In your smile there is a glow.
You understand and realize,
there are things you don't yet know.
I see you every morning,
I'm with you every day.
Your happiness always reaches out;
I hope you never go away.
Yesterday when you were sad,
I wanted to give you a flower.
But the bars that hem me round,
would not let me out.
