Remember
All those years
Ago
With your
Small brown
Curls

A tiny
Eager face
Peeking out from
Behind
Your
Bangs

The first
Time
You held
Her wand
And experienced the
Magic

Loose hairdos
Framing
Delight of
Innocence
Not yet
Disappeared

Remember
How you refused
To hug
Dan
And then
Fled
Afterwards







So different
For You
now
Sometimes I
Wonder if
You grew up to
Fast


Those funny braids
Have faded
Slowly
Revealing a
Hidden
Beauty

Thoughtful brown eyes
Of yours
Reflect
How I’ve watched you
Change and
grow

You
Wondered
Wishing to
Leave this
World

Yet somehow
You
Realized
You were
Already
Home






Who is that
Star
Laughing
Living the
Dream

Remembering
All those years
Ago
I look
And I see that
Girl
