fifty-nine years and still
so many tears in so many eyes

but yet she smiles

... for she is like a child
whose innocence never dies

..for innocence should never die
..pure and happy ..
the loss of which
is reason enough to cry ..

tears are left overs of innocence..
once the innocence evaporates, we become numb with 'tears' as silent painful reminders of what was once pure ..

How beautiful it would be if innocence never died. But no, you grow up, and innocence is killed by reality. And finally, ignorance becomes the only refuge to find bliss.

its a wonderful thing...the fact that inner innocence will always live on. no matter what is going on in the world today.we really CAN hope, when we see children who are still pure and innocent.

It is probably the fact that she is a child and has an unconditioned mind that goes to her advantage in such conditions.
