LITTLE GIRLS

 

Little girls are the most precious things

in their little dresses so sweet,

and ankle socks and shiny shoes

and their hair combed out so neat.

 

That was on Sunday morning for church

or when they're off to meet the queen.

The rest of the time their hair is wild

and they're dressed in their playtime jeans.

 

Or tennis shoes and a pair of shorts

and a shirt with some stains on the front.

A girl needs something practical

when she's off to start the hunt

 

for pretty stones and pieces of glass

to add to her treasure chest;

the one she keeps hidden under her bed

that holds all the things she loves best.

 

She'll sit with a kitty or raggedy doll

and chat for an hour or two

about all the things she did today

and the pebble that got in her shoe.

 

Then she's ready for tea with her baby doll,

a stuffed bear and a cookie or two,

and maybe she'll add just one more guest.

Mommy, she's invited you.

 

And later when she's all tucked up in bed

with her faorite stuffed friend by her side,

her parents can rest with smiles on their faces

knowing their little girl is alright.

Having been a little girl I found reading this a wonderful journey back to where I am from. Thanks so much for the wonderful words that took me back to those happy carefree times that slipped away now. It's always a delight to return there even for a brief moment in life :) Your words flow so easily and definitely describe a time not all that long ago - a very happy time willed with wonder and joy. Thanks again for the journey :)
