A Little Girl So Sweet
A little girl can be sweeter (and badder)
Oftener than anyone else in the world.
she can jitter around, and stomp,
and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves
yet just when you open your mouth
she stands there demure
with that special look in her eyes.
A girl is Innocence playing in the mud,
Beauty standing on its head, and
Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
