“What Is A Little Girl!”

[Poem taken from the collection of Kathrine Wathne]

She's a bundle of sweetness,

brightness & fun

The beauty of springtime,

the warmth of the sun

She's Innocence covered with mud,

sand, & soot

She's Motherhood dragging

a doll by the foot...

She's a composite picture of

giggles & tears

Of tantrums, excitement,

amusement & fears

A bundle of mischief

and often a tease

A creature of moods

not easy to please...

Who'll capture your heart

with her pixie-like grin

Or chatter and beg till your

patience wears thin

But obedient, naughty,

mischievous or coy

She's Mom's little Darling &

Dad's Pride & Joy.

Advance happy 5th birthday to you my cute little niece, NADINE!
