I Was a Little Girl {A Poem with Lots of Pictures}

I was a little girl

I lived in a little world

With baby dolls and basement swings

And all those kinds of things

I lived in a little world

With great big hills and gated yards

Swings from trees and sandy beaches

And all those types of things

A house on base was what I called home

Across a great big Country we drove

My little world began to grow

Mountains and plains

Great big corn fields

And all those kinds of things

Now, back to gated yards and swings in trees

There were neighborhood kids and walks to the park

Just those types of things

A house in town was what I called home

But soon out to the country we drove

There were great big yards and dirt hills high

Now, a cozy country house was my home

Time went by and I grew so fast

There was foundation's work and volley ball

I met new people

I made more friends

All those types of things

I started A

There was maps and lots of work

Giggles and “Big Kids”

Next came B

I stepped into a whole new world

A world of close friends and hard work

A world of bible studies and hours on the trampoline

The years went by

1 and then 2

School work and friends

The days quickly passed

There were presentations and laughter

All has changed by now

I turned seventeen this month

Friends have grown up and moved away

I miss them all too often

But soon...I will too and then life again shall change

But until then

I’ll live in my little world

With Mock Trial and long papers

Friends and history

And all those kinds of things
