Like a Little Girl
by Marijo Phelps She was going to see her family, Her mom, her sister and her dad, once again Happy, happy was she! Her Mom's birthday was coming And she wanted to take Mom some flowers. She knew where there was a flower place nearby, Where she could pick them up Just before she went home And she planned. Sixty cents in her little purse And that was not enough But her friends gave her Two cents along the way. She walked along Her purse clutched In her fist deep inside her pocket. Happy, happy, it was finally spring. She got there and walked around. Lost for awhile, Then saw two people. Shyly, she asked "Are they closed for selling flowers?" The lady said to wait a half hour. She said she'd come back later. She walked and breathed And shook her hair in the sun. She could almost smell the carnations. One vibrant red, one milky white And the other peppermint striped. What would her Mom say? Oh, happy, happy, it was spring! And she walked around until the time was gone, Shyly looking down when anyone passed. And then,she went back to the flower place. She waited in a dark hall, A lady went in the door. She walked up to the door and hesitated. Then grasped the knob and turned it slowly. She hesitated again and walked in. The lady didn't hear her So she asked "Are you open yet?" The lady said "Not for 10 minutes" "Do you want cut flowers?" "Oh, yes!" she smiled. "Well, then you won't have to wait Because we haven't any left today." "oh" the voice was little as she left. Happy? Happy? It was spring once for me today But now that seems like yesterday And should have been, For she was me And for awhile I was her again.
