To the little girl smiling,
I admire the beauty that you see in everything.
To the little girl smiling,
I admire the good you try so hard to find in everyone.
To the little girl grinning from ear to ear,
I can’t help but be envious of the TRUE carefree life that you live.
To the little girl whose cheeks are sore from the smile that never leaves,
Don’t be afraid of your kind soul-
for you’ll learn to love it.
To the little girl smiling despite her scrapes and bruises,
and is unsure of what she has to offer the world-
I’m proud of you for keeping on.
To the little girl whose smile never left
I love that you make sure the smiles stay on the faces of whom you love.
To the little girl smiling,
you have taught me more than I could ever express.
To the little girl smiling,
you have taught me… how to love
you
me
and every version of us
that comes to be.
