Collections

Collections In a little purse she carried She called “her so many things,” When her Mama had to tarry, She’d play with her so many “blings.” There was a ten cent plastic dolly, A handkerchief for her nose; A rock of a pinkish color, In the general shape of a rose. Her little purse finally discarded, For a red backpack filled with books, A collection of lipsticks, a cell phone, With pictures of boys with good looks. Little girl’s purse is now a Femdi, She grew up so rich and so wise, It is filled with money and makeup, A collection of no surprise.

I like the portrayal of innocence. The desire to be grown up and then the childishness of being a grown up.

Sun lite, oh what an emotional write, it touched me deeply. I am a girl who did not discard my childhood things and I am proud of that, well done !
