Litte Girl

Running through the sand Holding her little hand Making sandcastles on the beach Breaking the rules together Always within her little reach She cries "Daddy! Don't go!" Her brown eyes blink away tears As they still do, after years She holds her little bear Climbs onto his back And says daddy, I wont let you go Or my little pink bear will attack She shakes her head Sheds a tear And he holds her little hand Watches her twirl in her princess dress Leaves footprints on the sand But they get bigger The next year her footprints are bigger But he holds her little hand Races her barefoot, on the sand And they create and remake their own special little imaginary land Daddy's littler girl Holds her big pink bear Climbs onto his back And says "Daddy! Don't go!" Or my pink bear will never come back She shakes her little head Jumps up and down Spins her little spin And asks him if they could play fairytale Because she would let him wear her crown And she smiles, and turns his frown upside down
