A Little Girl at Heart
- A Little Girl at Heart -
To some people I’m an angel, and sure I look the part,
But once you get to know me, I’m a little girl at heart.
I like my pretty dresses and I love stuffed animals too,
And I never want to grow up; and, violets aren’t blue!
Sure, I might be an angel, and sweetie that’s okay…
But I’m also a bit of a rebel; I do things my own way.
I’m just a little girl at heart, that’s all I really am,
When my pretty white flowers bloom I’m happy!
And I see a rainbow, when the sun is coming out.
I want to be a big strong queen, and proudly stand,
But that’s never all, not by far, that there is to me.
When I’m happy I smile, when I’m sad I’ll pout!
I like my pretty dresses, and I like also to dance…
And skip along singing, just like when I was little.
Boys make me blush, and I daydream of romance,
And people think I’m crazy, but I just say oh well!
Because I’m just a little girl at heart, all I’ll ever be.
Doesn’t matter how old I get, that’s just my nature,
I know it doesn’t seem logical, and maybe just silly.
But I never grew up inside, never became mature…
Never figured out why, but I just had to be myself.
And I’m young at heart and silly, then who cares?
Let people say I’m childish, like a dolly on a shelf!
I’m used to people’s silliness, and all their stares…
Because I’m me and I’m silly little Jessica: proud.
Like a big, strong warrior queen, only much cuter!
Want to play with me? You can’t follow the crowd.
Because when we get together, we’ll cause a stir…
I’m silly when I sing, I sing long and I’ll sing loud.
But then I get all shy-like; I blush and act demure!
Because that’s the little girl in me just being young,
And no matter what comes or goes in life’s turning:
I’ll still be skipping along, trying to have some fun.
Like an innocent angel, with beautiful white wing…
Only cuter, because I’m here and not off in Heaven!
So if you want to dance with me, you have to sing.
Because I’m so silly, and the silliest of all women!
So when you come to my party, you have to bring:
The party favors; like flowers, and water pistols…
Because when we party I like to have a crazy time.
I’ve got a crazy personality, and a spirit that fills…
More pages than War and Peace; only with rhyme!

For my illustration for this poem, I decided to use this photo I took of myself using my webcam. I added only a pretty pink background to it, to bring out my angelic, innocent spirit even more.

Thanks, Lacey! That's super sweet of you to take the time to read and comment on my poem. I'm so happy you liked it too! Yeah, it's not easy to keep your inner child in this world today. Been through some terrible times lately, in fact... but I never lose that core me, and indeed it's important beyond words. Oh yeah, I see you noticed how much I simply love and adore pink! Yep, it's totally one of my favorite colors. *Giggle*
