A little girl
A laugh, a sigh
A sparkle in
A soft, blue eye
A little shy
A little bold
A secret kept
A story told
A hand to hold
A lock to curl
A daisy chain
A skip, a twirl
A little girl
A woman's start
A work of grace
A work of art

I like the line, "A little shy, a little bold". That sure sums up lots of little people I know.

ReplyDeleteTell him I'll make him one, but that I already had this poem written...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sue - I'm kind of in awe. I do this because I like to write, but you have actually written books. I feel all shy now. I liked this poem - I'm sure it's about one particular little girl, but it could be about most of us and the little girls we love.
ReplyDeleteThat one goes on my favorites list
ReplyDelete"a lock to curl"...
