Little Things

Little Things A little splash From a little girl A little smile From her little world Three little ponytails Usually no more Two little knocks Late on my door One little story With Princess and Prince Both live happily ever after Behind a little picket fence A little dance When no one’s around A little more red As she colors a clown A little fit When I tell her no A little hug When we finally go A little trip To the Dollar Tree A little wonderland This ten-year-old sees One little question And then another Finally, I answer Go ask your mother Little tears Little eyes convey A word of console Sends them away A little kiss From lips of ten Renews the faith That lies within A little prayer Tucked in bed The words break off As I kiss her head She asks very little Except for my time A little request That borders divine A little child Awoke today sharing a little heaven In her own little way 6/9/16
