Notes About The Poem

Artist Eve Roper  painted 8/2014

Little Girl Barefooted and Grass Stain Knees

skies of rainbow blue as ocean moves
girl’s sassy swirls of soft tangled hair,
where pearls would dare clasp its curls

glow in her eyes special gentle blue
waves flow of tear drops buckets full
beautiful mud stain blush cheeks

Oh, such a handful only three feet high
arms full of endless hugs and pretty please
barefooted, dirty, and grass stain  knees
while magpie explores the world never to say good-bye

double bubbles scents of lavender berries
pink and blue little ponies warm and cozy PJs

night promise dreams of fairies,
flowering ponds, bunnies, and butterflies
over and over stories whispers lullabies hums
sleep little angel in clouds full of stars
wishes of rainbow bridges to the moon
fairyland castles held by balloons
where   little ponies play musical tunes
yesterday’s gardens today and tomorrow
fairies glimmer flittering amongst its blooms
enchanting flavors of snow cones,
bubblegum and cherry plums
unicorns, maidens, and gnomes chuckles

sleep till morning when you rise
to endless hugs and pretty please
explore the world never to say good-bye

A doting grandmother? It's wonderful the way children can lead us back to those magical places Eve. Such a lovely nostalgic trip you have brought us on.
