Just A Little Girl

Just A Little Girl

Just a little girl
Opening her eyes for the first time
A whole new world
Even the white walls of the hospital were mesmerizing
Just a little girl
Crawling on the floor
Playing with her toys
Uttering her first word
Just a little girl
Wobbling on weak legs
Fighting to stand
Making her awkward first steps
Just a little girl
Swinging on a swing set
Reaching for the skies
Falling to the earth
Swept in her mothers embrace
Just a little girl
Scared and nervous
First day of school
Tears running down her face
Leaving her mothers embrace
Just a little girl
Sitting on a park bench
The world alive around her
Senses dulled
She receives her first kiss
Just a little girl
Entering high school
Leaving behind old friends
Making new ones
Keeping up with the trends
Just a little girl
On graduation day
Playing with her tassel
Valedictorian speech complete
A mother rises to her feet
Thunderous applause
Just a little girl
Walking around the campus
Wanting to make something of herself
Starting her career
Trembling in fear
A mother waves goodbye
Just a little girl
On her wedding day
Flowing white dress
Red roses
Groom awaits
Just a little girl
Holding her child close
The greatest day of her life
The little boy opens his eyes
Just a little girl
Aging gracefully
Watching her youngest child
Move out of the house
Just a little girl
Watching the sunset
In the arms of her husband
Feeling complete
Just a little girl
Lying on her bed
The white walls of the hospital
She closes her eyes
Just a little girl
Joining her mother again
Cloaked in white
The little girl has grown
But in the mothers eyes
Just a little girl
