Sandrine

 

Yours are the eyes of a new soul
Your shy smile I now behold
Sandrine your name I am told
You’re our bridge to the new and old

Sandrine, this moment gives me glee
Though swift and fleeting it may be
Your inviting smile is the key
Your face crinkled in curiosity

Sandrine, caution will serve you well
Supported in your mother’s arms for awhile
Your smile creates a new prosody
You give us hope with your curiosity

Sandrine, hold dear what you see
Search the stars above the trees
Blaze a new trail with your strides
Travel throughout your land far and wide

You came, you see, you will succeed
A brighter future there will be
There’ll be so many with new names
This country you will all reframe

Sandrine, you reboot my day
Your smile lights up my day
No more need I say
I’ll follow in your way
