Gold ringlets, <br />frame her pretty face, <br />those big blue eyes. <br /> <br />The world <br />is hers to own <br />and she will, someday. <br /> <br />“I want to be <br />a princess when I’m big” <br />she says. <br /> <br />When she grows up, <br />I guess, she might, <br />but for me, she already is. <br /> <br />To be 3 in this world, <br />today, <br />how frightening <br /> <br />but there she sits, <br />working her aunt’s <br />mobile phone <br /> <br />with dexterity, <br />poise <br />and prowess. <br /> <br />Me, I’m old now, <br />but sitting by her <br />I ‘m a child again. <br /> <br />Fresh dewy eyes <br />see the world anew, <br />as we take it all in.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/taking-it-all-in/
