She Will Never Know.....

She sits on that seat looking at me with those eyes,
Not knowing what they convey I look back at them......
She shifts a little in her seat showing her contempt,
I continue looking at her..appreciating her innocence......
She cuddles up to the man sitting beside her,
she feels safe in his arms..He holds her tight to protect her from the world......
She knows nothing of the world around her,
I adore her for her age and the comfort that she is accompanied with.........
He holds her close to him as he senses her getting frightened of the stranger staring at her,
I look away for awhile and smile thinking of how I have grown up.......
I look back and think of me in that same age,
So Carefree, Secure, Pampered....Just living in the moment.......
I never knew how life would be, What turns it would take,
What all I saw was just Life....Life was harsh and beautiful......but as it is said that is Life.......
I look back at them sitting beside me and feel happy for her,
For there is someone to protect her from the world's worries..the ups and lows of life.......
But now all that has gone as I look back at my childhood sitting beside me with my daddy trying to protect me and slowly it starts fading away and they start disappearing and before I know it I am snapped back to the present,
As I get up to leave there is another girl coming in the bus with her daddy as I look at her the words just echo in my mind.........."She Will Never Know"............................................
