Poetry

in my world there's always love I like watching mommy put on her makeup,

I ask mommy about the red stuff on her face she smiles and tells me that it's something called lipstick whatever that is.

after playing dress up I hear daddy call for me "come on sally give me a hug before I leave" I Jump in his arms to give him a hug as I pull away I ask daddy "why are you dressed like that" as he stands he smiles and says this is what I wear to work.

Would I have to wear that when I grow up, I replied. He laughs and tells me "No baby you are a girl only little boys would have to wear this when they grow up"

as I wonder about what I would have to wear, daddy tells me to have a good day, and then he says by to mommy.

she walks out with that red stuff on her face, and said "by honey" that confused me, because daddy doesn't look like honey

as she strapped me in my car seat I asked mommy why she called daddy honey; she paused for a minute then told me don't worry about it baby

when we got to my school she walked me to class and said goodbye behave

my days are spent learning my ABC's and playing with my classmates on the playground at recess,

sweet, pure, and clean spinning around in the sand smiling so carefree. I'm dizzy from all of that twirling


no worries at all I'm young, and having too much fun.
