My Girl

My girl's name is Jan, and sometimes

she thinks she's a man, but that's ok

'cause I love her anyway.

My girl's a dancer, and sometimes

when I call she doesn't answer, but that's ok

'cause I love her anyway.

My girl's very busy, and sometimes

she gets in a tizzy, but that's ok

'cause I love her anyway.

My girl's so very sweet, and sometimes

she's not too neat, but that's ok

'cause I love her anyway.

My girl's really, really smart, and sometimes

she takes my heart, but that's ok

'cause I love her anyway.

My girl's got places to go, and sometimes

she just doesn't know, that I love her so,

but that's ok 'cause my love will stay.

Hi again, Geneva. I found this jewel tossed in with the common shore pebbles in the Random selection. I feel I know your little girl now, she seems to have stolen your heart. My little girl is very dear to me as well. I like your inner verse rhyming, and your sincere patter. It's always the common words that yield the most vivid images when they're used wisely, and you've done just that. Thanks for letting me see your girl through your eyes. Nanook

Geneva, your poem is very cute and everything sounds so nice. Just wonder if you let the girl be 100% sure of your love. You just have to let her know!! With this love so lovely and so true. I got one love like that as well, and luckily we're still working on it together and it is still growing! Wish you everything fine (especially for love). Writing poetry is nice, keep up the hard work!!
