Little Girl

Today, I saw a little girl who reminded me of myself at her age. Smart, funny, beautiful, and charming. She also reminded me of a poem that I wrote a couple of years ago about a little girl who was unruly and headed down the wrong direction...enjoy

Little Girl

Little Girl…know your place

Little Girl…know your role,

For you are just a child,

Only a young, young child,

You were placed on this earth

For joy, love, and peace,

Little Girl…know your place

Little Girl…know your role

You were meant to be sweet, kind, and pure

Little Girl…know your place

Little Girl…know your role

When I was a child, I thought as a child,

And as a child you are to act as a child

And be satisfied,

For the world is filled with distrust, rot,

And filth,

Little Girl, please stay safe,

Little Girl, you are our only hope,

A hope for a future, you are our future,

Behave accordingly, and pray for longevity

Little Girl…know your place,

Little Girl…know your role.
