I wish sometimes
that I could be a little girl again:
Sipping cups of hot cocoa
by a warm fireplace;
Resting my head on my older sister's knee,
knowing I can simply sleep
and everything will be okay;
Cuddling in a chair
and reading chapter books
because they are big and important
and therefore so am I;
Wearing a ballerina skirt
with my cotton t-shirt
simply because it's pretty
and I want to.
Not looking at the camera lens
and just smiling up at the sun,
squinting my eyes so I can see
and not messing with the flowers
bobby-pinned into my messy hair.
