Curly Locks

          Curly locks, what do you know of the world,
            And what do your brown eyes see?
          Has your baby mind been able to find
            One thread of the mystery?
          Do you know of the sorrow and pain that lie
            In the realms that you've never seen?
          Have you even guessed of the great unrest
            In the world where you've never been?

          Curly locks, what do you know of the world
            And what do you see in the skies?
          When you solemnly stare at the world out there
            Can you see where the future lies?
          What wonderful thoughts are you thinking now?
            Can it be that you really know
          That beyond your youth there are joy and ruth,
            On the way that you soon must go?
