all she has to worry at all
is if the birthday party
will have a clown
to entertain them

Crayons that draw down her imagination
and nursery rhymes and sweet cakes
all she really has to do at school
is make bread and play- doh towers
and little wooden robots
with little wooden dogs

Ponytails with pink bows donns her hair
and bright blue and red leggings
that tuck under her heels
and stealing mummys make- up
and falling down the stairs
in mummys shoes

making masks and painting pictures
and going to little girls brownies
saying the brownie promise
and earning my badges
are the most important
matters on her mind

Kiss chase is the most dirty and rude
and truth or dare is naughty
making clothes out of bin bags
and watching blue peter
and drinking milkshake

She lives in my memory
the little girl I once was
now i am a little older
doesn't mean i'm wiser
I'm still at school but so much has changed
I miss that little girl.

Wonderful.
