Inevitable

Big brown eyes
gazing at me
On little toes
following my slow feet
Your hand in mine
clasped safely
to the music in our heads
we swayed

A man with her angel
Little girl with her Superman

Oh yes
I remember those times
Just wish it’d lasted a while

Was yesterday
(with happy tears) when you said
“Hello Kitty married Dear Daniel”
with green crayons you painted your face
for a white pony
you ,cried, begged, prayed

Between then & now
Between bedtime stories
and first crushes
Between princess dresses
and eye shadow
Between baby kisses
and blushes

Somehow
One day
You,
my baby
have turned to A Young lady
