A whole decade
Went by in a flash.
When soft chubby arms and curly locks
Gave way to long legs and trendy haircuts.
Frocks and frills disappear
Making space for a different style every day,
Until you discover one that's more 'you'.
Obsessions with princesses and 'abracadabras'
Shift to perfumes and accessories
Just as quickly as the fairy tales turn into urban legends.
And yet...
As much as I want to cling to the little you,
I see you, just like me...
Holding tight, to all that magic.
To enchanting unicorns, leprechauns and mermaids
That always dotted your world.
The fairy stories may change to charms and witches.
Yet...
I see you
Draw a rainbow in every picture you paint,
As if to scream out:
That drab grown up world could use some colour!
How do I explain...
That the magic can always remain?
