What Is A Girl

She’s a bundle of sweetness
and brightness and fun
The beauty of springtime,
the warmth of the sun.

She’s innocence covered with
mud, sand and soot
She’s Motherhood dragging
a doll by the foot.

She’s a composite picture
of giggles and tears
Of tantrums, excitement,
amusement and fears.

A bundle of mischief
and often a tease
A creature of moods
not too easy to please.

She can capture your heart
with her pixie-like grin
Or chatter and beg till
your patience wears thin.

But obedient, naughty,
mischievous or coy

She’s Mom’s little darling
and Dad’s pride and joy.
