Now and Again

Folder: 
Life and Living

A little girl felt things

for which there were no

words,

her thoughts bubbling like

a spring.



So much she wanted to say,

but her words were lost

to the future;

too many words interfere

with a girl's growing.



The Poet







But a girl has a right

to be herself, to

fly free;

and,with her growing all done,

she wrote memories she

could see.



She wrote of life and love,

of transitions, and

pain;

and the lost poems of a little girl

unknowingly return, now

and again.
