They Talk About Mermaid Tattoos
Ending an era with this little gal today; she is soon to be a proud Big Sister(She doesn't know that she is the latest owner of a piece of Janet's heart💖)
But oh, what a perfectly-precious farewell daywith two of my favorite little gal-pals💕
It doesn't look like it here but oh, the conversation...😅💗💗💗
They talk about Mermaid tattoosAnd Minions Bubble-bath and thingsLike, how when thoap getth in your eyeth/soap gets in your eyesIt ‘really-really-very-thtingth’ /stingsAnd nothing is impossibleIn a world not yet four years oldStill oblivious to the pullOf Bygone’s oceanic hold
Their dollies board yoga-mat shipsWhere giggling captains shout ahoyAnd take the silliest of tripsTo snack-time’s high-five, five-star joyWhile we find life a gladder chargeIn the delightful companyOf Darling Innocence at largeAnd pure and precious as can be
How unaware-ly they arrangeA gallery of mementosWhere nothing in the world can changeThe pictures that these halls encloseWhile heartstrings twang and tangle, ohWhere hold-and-letting-go soft-sparsWith laughter-spangles lilting glowAnd a sweet blur of salty stars
They stir a thankful melodyFor pink-frock perfect happinessFor little girls, still fancy-freeWhere childhood is earth’s heaven-nessBefore the slick wink of an eyeThat turns us into hoarder’s ofArtwork that money cannot buyMasterpieces entitled 'Love'
