Run Little Girl joyful and free
Play tag with your puppy
Climb ancient oak trees
Let your hair blow in the breeze
Weave wildflower necklaces
and blossom crowns to grace
your pretty young neck
and exquisite angel face
Dance Precious Beauty
with skipping tip toe pirouettes
These are the memories
you will never forget
Grab all the fleeting joy
you can handle with both hands
Too soon you’ll become a woman
facing sorrow and demands
Take time Lovely Maiden
to know your own fickle heart
Learn how to love yourself deeply
before you attempt to start
To give your priceless soul
to be bound with another
Can you escape the mistakes
of Mother and Grandmother?
Be brave and unconventional
forging your own unique way
Embracing unseen tomorrows
but living fully for each today
And remember Dearest Love
in everything you touch and do
be the woman you truly are
for there’s no one else like you
Good advice for any child and well crafted. I have seen a few signs in places such as the Orkney and Shetland islands that say free range children live there. I wish there were more of them.
So uniquely made are we that if we try to be anyone else, we forge ourselves, and become fake. Your authenticity is clear as a bell here dear Belle, thankyou for gracing my mind tonight, be well, and smile :)
"there's no one else like you" Amen. And so true of every human being the Creator breathes life into. If, when we were budding young flowers, and most malleable, I wonder, if someone with wisdom could have shared encouragement like this, how different our lives might be. I sense biographic subtext in this. A heart-touching piece, Susan, that I will read to my wife. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards.... rlc
So beautiful and poignant. Lessons for the girl from a woman of much experience. I love the way you tell the stories without making the young girl memorize or otherwise have to follow what you say. Beautifully adorned by that young lady in white.
Absolutely delightful!
Childhood days should be
treasured…days of freedom and security..
These days can often be recalled in future years
to bring happiness when life
becomes harder to bear…
A splendid poem…
You captured your topic so well. As a father to three girls and a grandfather to three more I have lived through and watched all of what you describe. Beautiul Belle, beautiful.
