Innocence

You visited me, now you are a part of me.
I smile knowing you are here. That I can take your mantle, and wear it, bestowed upon me like a blessing.
A hand after I have fallen, a life raft after I have drowned.
Thank God for you. I am joyful.
Where did you go? I am not happy for your return—I am happy because I know you are staying.
Hello my innocence, let us journey.
