I cannot stunt your growth
I cannot freeze the time
But I can make the most
of each precious moment sublime
and maximize its worth.
You are such a little princess
A living doll you are
One day you will run out for recess
And get mud all over your dress
I will look at you and smile
Wipe the smudge from your nose
And ask sheepishly how did you
get dirt all over your clothes?
For I was once like you
And I did not forget
The fun of squishing mud and dirt
Within my finger tips.
I love to watch you smile
see the twinkle in your eyes
Like catching a star
I make a wish to always be
Wherever you are
That pigeon toed walk
That curious little stalk
The world is your mystery to solve
When you’re quiet
you are deeply involved
In some sort of mischief
I catch you, you run
Fun, fun, fun.
How I enjoy the games we play
Like hide and seek
And up, up and away!
You are a highlight in everyday.
When you’re not with me
I deeply miss you, I must say.
Sleep tight mud princess
Rest on angels wings
Float on into dreamland
Escorted by the songs I sing.
I love you.
Your mommy
I could see a little girl on a spring/summer day playing. And of course I could see your smile. This is a beautiful piece. Very warm.
