"A Little Girl Again"

Sometimes I wish I was a
little girl again.
To dream of princesses being
carried off by the handsome prince.
Or to wish upon the twinkling star
and watch them glow so bright.
Sometimes I wish I was a little girl again
to see my wishes, hopes and prayers come true
with the twinkle of an eye or the flutter of a wand.
Or to sit upon my mothers lap
and to feel the warmth within her heart
that took all my fears away.
And to know that she'd be
there to protect me forever.
Sometimes I wish I was a little girl again
so I'd never had to feel the hurt
one grows to know when hearts
are broken, dreams are shattered when life
isn't at all what you had dreamed.
Sometimes I wish I was a little girl again
when scary things were only in
bad dreams and would disappear by
the warmth of someones touch.
And when tears would fade away
just by the tender softness
of a kiss by someone who cared.
Sometimes I wish I were a little girl again
to recall the feeling a child feels
when she sees her first snow flake
fall unto the ground.
And to romp and play in the snow
as if it were the last she'd ever see.
Sometimes I wish I were a little girl again
to never have to know the hardships
>that's in this world today.
But to only know the love and beauty
a child feels before she's
grown and her dreams are gone.
