Ode to Yuri

A little boy with almond eyes
Did stare at me, his spirits high.
I smiled at him, oh, I could cry,
In a toothless grin he answered by.

He speaks in a language so strange
Yet I wish it would never change.
I would stop the world from going round,
Contented I would be, trapped in his charm.

A certain ache in my heart I felt,
My boy, I know, time would wilt,
But the toothless grin, the melodious laugh,
Will forever be kept in my mind with love.
