Silly Little Girl

A poem about my clever daughter Kairi~yes like from Kingdom Hearts~She's the coolest kid I know ^_~

I have an interesting daughter

she's as clever as can be

the things she says and does

at the young age of three

But that's how she is

causing a smile to grow

or making my mouth drop

from all the things she knows

When she was little

first learning to speak

she'd watch the Aristocats

it was constantly on repeat

"Happy body, happy body

happy body, beee a cat!"

She'd sing so loudly

I'd happily join the act

She'd walk around like Mommy

pretending the remote was a phone

she'd be talking to her Daddy too, saying

"When are you gonna be home?"

She's a sweet little kid

with such a huge heart

a whirlwind of emotions

I hope they never part

Her smile's one of kind

She'll tell me not to cry

then she'd grab a washcloth

and gently dab at my eyes

She's my princess ballerina

she's watched me practice dance

though she's decided she'll teach me

saying "Momma, take this stance."

I swear she's just the coolest

she even knows how to snap

how many kids do you know

that are capable of that?

My daughter's so creative

she has a certain glow

I told her to straighten her shoes once

instead she formed a rainbow

She doesn't always listen

sometimes she drives me wild

but I will always lover her

my spunky little child

"She's yet to kill my fish though"

I'd tell my own Momma happily

She'd just laugh of course 

then say "she reminded her of me"

My Itty Bitty's one of a kind

I love watching her play

those wheels inside her head

they'd turn every-which-way

She knows when her birthday is

numbers and colors too

I doubt there will be anything

that she's not able to do

I could go on and on

like a clam about it's pearl

instead I'll leave it at this

I simply love my silly little girl

Author's Note

She just yet again made me smile, so this just kinda came to me. My inspiration was from her pointing to the TV and saying "Momma! I wanna watch emo!" "You mean you wanna watch Nemo." I corrected her laughing. "Yeah, Nemo." She smiled as if that's what she said the first time. The picture is actually from when I told her to organize her shoes. She ran up to me saying, "Mommy come look! I made a rainbow." I'm a proud Mommy, can't you tell? ^_^

I CAN tell!! Beautiful tribute to your daughter..... If you are 20, does that mean you got married when you were 13 in grade school, if married 7 years? This poem is like the perfect tribute/Mother's Day/keepsake poem. Very cute..... xoxo -Mark

Lol I met him then, we got married this past April, wed just been together seven years, but sadly I caught him in bed with another woman just a few days ago, so now I'm going through a divorce :( I used to take so much pride in our relationship, but I knew better....I'll start a blog soon, ppl will understand better then.

[Patrick Henry]

I can't believe you just wrote that!! Are you going to start a blog about how he messed around with this other woman? If it's a divorce issue, won't the subject of defamation of character affect issues of custody and things that result from this? Your beautiful happy-go-lucky picture is quite disarming whilst reading your comment that is awful news. ....just awful. I'm sorry you are about to go through what everyone I grew up with went through!! A wonderful poem and I hope your daughter, someday, reads it without the timeline of when it was seen and uploaded to the upcoming divorce you speak of..... Well, here comes the cliche' part of everyone's life you will ever know in...3...2....If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. Kairi deserves a High-5 for that rainbow!! : ) xoxo -Mark

Its not really defamination of character as its the truth, and no I dont plan on writing about hating him or how horrible he his, it just turned out that for the past 7years the person I loved with , my all simply did not love me back. He was good with his words and sometimes despite all the bad his acts made me love him even more. In truth he was the only love id ever known, so starting new will be hard for me. He will always be my daughters Daddy. And I will always do my best at least until she has to grow up, to keep her in a happy-go-lucky world. Shes a child now, so its okay for her to not understand or know the pains adults do. At least thats how I feel. All she understands at the moment, is that Mommy's heart was broken, and Daddy can't fix it.

You wrote that with an awesome amount of clarity and without any apparent anger to either my comment OR the situation. Your poems always have me ask: "How beautiful is SHE?" Now, I see you as wonderful in your commitment to your daughter and heart as you are in poems we are allowed to read by you!! I think you're amazing and I'm just really glad I came across your face and hope that I am allowed to in the future for further reading, escape, and enjoy some "heart/soul-searching"!! You don't need luck because you sound like you were forced to practice it, so I wish all the good health and means to protect that family of yours with the greatest of ease!! I hope you threw her a High-5. lol xoxo -Your Mark

Thank you very much ^_^ I truly appreciate that. I was always taught that it does no one any good to hate. And my daughter not only high fived, but gave you a fist pound as well.

So precious! You write from your heart about what you are feeling in these days, your words will be even more priceless when she has grown and these times are gone. When I read my journals from those days, I am so thankful that the moments did not evaporate without leaving the verbal snapshots. I love the rainbow shoe arrangement...so like my little one (now in her twenties!) who would arrange all dolls and bears for a party under the table - then, recite their names and what they liked. This brought back so many memories...a joy to read and experience!

haha.. really cute daughter XD
btw, i like this poem :)

[Forever Hidden]

So cute! I wish I had a sister like that. At least someone taught there daughter well! ;) And the picture that is in the backround in the picture of her there is a cage. She likes rodents?

This just made my day! =)

[Willowtree]

Aww!! So sweet! She sounds like such a sweetheart! When you said she made a rainbow I didn't quite know what you meant until I saw the picture. That's so cute! Who would do that? She even seems to find something creative to do to shoes!
I smiled reading this poem :)

[Annabelle Lee]

AL

[Barbara Walker]

This is beautiful! Your love comes shining through, and your words make her personality shine through, also! She sounds like an old soul to me! What a wonderful muse!

Why is it, when Mothers write about their children the positivity shines through from the first line? No complaint in that. A true delight of a poem. Loved every line of it, smart clever, funny and so well written. Wonderful job

[Serenity Faith]

I suppose it's because normally children are postive beings in a mother's life. We are the carriers of life. I'd like to bring postive life into the world. I can't say everythings's always positive of course, there are days when I sound like my mother saying " I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." XD
