Little girl.

Little girl she stares at her feet,
she feels so tiny & small.
She wonders how it's like to fly.

She longs to play on the clouds up high.

Thinking the sky's not far away,
she took a swing,
she took a leap,
& spread her wings into freedom.

Wings grew in pain,
& she didn't know how to fly.
No one taught her,
no one helped.
The little girl,
she's by herself.

She flaps helplessly & endlessly,
she couldn't cry.

She prays with her eyes closed,
& took the chance.
She took one final prance.

Gentle arms swept her away,
she opens her eyes in dismay,
thinking she's falling back to earth.
The little girl she couldn't believe what's awaiting her,
as nature beckons her to play,
the little girls dances with delight into the bright beautiful day.

She slid down rainbows,
& rode on golden beams.
Her hair behind her back,
her face washed by the winds.

She took a look down below her feet,
how absurd could it be?
For the world wasn't too big for her,
she wasn't all so tiny.

The little girl smile & rests her head on the cloud,
while sunlight chases away the shadow of doubts.
& eternity rest upon the little girl,
as she curls into her father's arms that cradle her.
