Little Red-Haired Girl

Little Red-Haired Girl

 

In my third grade classroom

She sits by the window close to the door

I sit way in the back, so far away

As I watch the clock some more

 

I hear the clock a ticking

It’s almost time for the bell

My feet are square on the floor

She has me in her spell

 

 As I watch the clock a ticking

I see her put her books away

She drops her pencil smiling

And then glances my way

 

I wonder if she too is wishing

To stand beside me in the cafeteria line

And then maybe take her seat

At the table beside me while we dine

 

Get ready, get set, I’m gone

I hurry as the bell starts ringing

To get to the door before she leaves

Inside my chest my heart’s a singing

 

Little red-haired girl I love you

Please take your time today

I want you to notice me

In that very special way

 

She sure is so pretty

Red hair tied up in yellow bows

She sparkles like a princess

Gold glitter on her cheeks and nose

 

Her dress is made of frilly stuff

It swishes when she walks by

She makes my heart go pity-pat

She’s the apple of my eye

 

She smelled like cotton candy

In our reading circle today

Teacher caught me day dreaming

Smelling her sweet bouquet

 

Oh little red-haired girl walk slowly

For my love for you is true

I long to give you the brownie

That my mommy baked just for you

 

Oh feet move so swiftly

My timing is just right today

She’s smiling oh so sweetly

My heart shouts out Hurray
