Hello Lavender Ballerina Friend
Lavender ballerina sealed up in a box.
I feel so sad it has been so long for you, dear.
I did not remember the day I shut you in.
I felt no guilt; I was on to bigger toys – and boys.
Finding you in my mother’s attic today gave me joy.
Especially since my own six-year-old daughter is intrigued.
This used to be yours! She says with a tinge of awe.
Not realizing until now that I was ever a child.
