Little Princess
Who is this little princess?
The one who does not want to wear pants?
Pretty pink dresses are your uniform everyday.
You love ballet although you can hardly say the word
Twirling skirts and glitter
Lipstick and earrings
Fascinate you today at the tender age of 2.
Did I raise you this way?
My only dresses are for church
Lipstick and earrings a rare occurrence
In my post-baby days.
Or is your sweet innocence sent by God above?
The One who made you “little girl”?
You are the One who knew
I needed to be reminded of the little girl
Buried deep inside of me.
Thank you Lord for my little princess
A constant beckoning from You to remember the sacred trust
You gave me when you created me female
May she always be Your little princess
And serve you with joy and gladness
All the days of her life.
Amen.
