Girl-child, sun freckled, and blonde
you grew smaller year by year
my lap is too big for you
Girl-child is a woman engaged now
and memories are not fireflies
housed in jars on summer nights
or else I’d have a collection
of endless summers

I really loved the way you blended your imaginative expression with the goodness of your thought that was in perfect harmony with your skillful usage of words! You truly are a world-class wordsmith.

Feels like they are babies for centuries, then you blink and they’re all grown up. Gotta love every single moment ๐
