Little girl

Little girl I hope you never have to endure the confusion of life
Your little face looking as bright as can be, your little eyes wondering as wildly as only you can.

Play with your little doll and wrap your hands tightly around her, believe in fairy tales, never introduce yourself to brutal reality. Believe in your little world and throw your dreams into every little corner.

Little girl stay warm and soft in the hands of your mother, my little girl let your God be your guardian, enrol your little body in the works that will only be beneficial in your life.

Please little girl I beg this of you, stay little, for it only comes once in a lifetime.

My heart beats a thousand times per minute as I look at you and know that in the 'faith' of time your little body will grow into mine and your little mind will know what I wish to forget for a lifetime.

Your happiness is your only gift you can give to yourself; little you would say my little girl. A big promise to fulfil I would say, time will leave you to know that you wished you had believed a little, held on a little, laughed a little bit more, lived a little bit more, stayed little for a little longer

Little girl please stay little.
