Confident Seven Year Old

Shirley is a confident seven-year-old
with sky blue eyes and fantastic natural curly ginger hair
her curls walk ahead of her
they are outstandingly pretty

today she is dressed in casual kaki pants
with matching sneakers and a huge leopard polka dotted bow
a matching purse is slung over her shoulder
she has no idea how adorable she is

a walking picture that others appreciate
her second-grade classmates surround her
they like everything about her
especially her confidence
Shirley fearlessly stands up for everybody
