Loved

A little girl, loved

Big blue eyes

dimples of craters

and a curious heart.

A little girl, loved

Dresses up.

Her flower skirt

And her favorite pink shirt.

A little girl, loved

Asks her mom

Can I go out

And play in the mud?

A little girl, loved

Is older now

Long curly hair,

A boyfriend now.

A little girl, loved

Dresses up.

A long red dress

A look to impress.

A little girl, loved

Asks her mom

Can I go with him?

Can I go to prom?

A little girl, loved

A grown woman now.

A college graduate

An author now.

A little girl, loved

Slips on a white dress

An absolute beauty

Her nerves in a mess.

A little girl, loved

Loved by many

Loves a green eyed boy

Who asks her daddy

Can I give a ring

To your little girl

Can I marry her sir?

Can I love her forever?

A little girl, loved

Much older now

But she'll always be

Her Daddy's little girl.
