YOUNG LOVE

"I'm happy to report my inner child is still ageless." ~ James Broughton

I carry this photo in my pocket

To remind me to speak kindly

To the little girl inside me

The one who loved to play house

In the child-size log cabin covered with morning glories

The one who floated in an inner tube

Further out on Edinboro Lake than she was suppose to

The one who colored rainbows and happy faces

With her box of 64 assorted Crayola crayons

The one who tap danced so fast

She lost the yellow sombrero off her head

The one who cut out her paper doll family

Hoping to have a friendly talk

The one who dressed up and explored the woods

With her merry band of friends

I carry this photo in my pocket

To remind me to ask once a day

To the little girl inside me

“Janet, do you wanta play?”

Time Has Come homework: I loved to color as a child

Posting early because we are flying to Los Angeles, California VERY early Wednesday morning, and I have to spend Tuesday being a “big girl” getting ready. Ha! My granddaughter and her fiancé are getting married this Saturday.

Here’s to a week of youthful happiness. Cheers!
