THE LITTLE GIRL I USED TO BE

Taking time to play...

THE LITTLE GIRL I USED TO BE

The little girl I used to be
Has come to stay a while with me
I did not ask for her to come...
She's only visible to some

To those who choose to stop and play
She's always willing then to stay
For every wish she has the key
That opens doors to help you see

The rhyme she chooses does not slant
Nor sever dreams that she can plant
She's kind and gentle by design
Why...everything she does is fine!

Perhaps I'll ask her please to stay
To help me find a way to play
'Cause each new day is seldom long
And we must sing a brand new song!

I feel like there are various interpretations to this one. I like to think the little girl is your source of inspiration and the best part of your personality, or a state of mind, if you may. "She's only visible to some" would mean that she's there to only those who are open to inspiration, for the sake of giving it a name.

It was such a delight to read this. Thank you for sharing it with us!
