Isabel
here she is
my seven year old
bunny bright
and monkey bold
floating on her tippy toes
shiny pink face with a runny nose
says what she thinks
and that's you told
tea stained freckles
and sapphire eyes
exaggerates
but won't tell lies
six teeth lost
to a dentist chair
My pykie princess
with sunshine hair.
took off her stabilizers
and sped down the road
laughing like
a demented toad
there's no climbing frame that can hold her down
her shoes have barely touched the ground
and fear can hardly find the room
to join her in the water flume
there she goes
my seven year old
bunny bright
and monkey bold
to laugh and play
and skip away
each new and fresh
exciting day.
