A Conversation With Karma

"Wake up sunshine!! It's a 'beauiful' day!!" As I open my eyes with a smile, Two little hands are cupping my face, She's been waiting for this for a while. I get out of my bed and we head down the stairs To the kitchen for breakfast and tea, As we sit at the table enjoying our meal, This is what Karma says to me... "Mommy I want to marry my prince, I want him to come take me away, We'll live in his castle and We'll ride on pink horses And, like daddy, he'll sing just for me.. We'll play on the piano, And he'll kiss my cheek, And he'll tell me how pretty I am" At this I can't help but grin.. "Is that right Karma honey?" I ask my small girl, Who is quite the romantic at three, She smiles and she nods her excited head, And at that moment my heart just breaks, For when she finally does find her "prince" In the long run her small heart will ache. I wish there were something that I could do, To stop her from growing up. I don't ever want her to know what It's like to be hurt, Especially not by her first love.This is about my girl, Karma.. she's probably the most passionate 3 year old I know, and when left to her own devices on the computer, I always come in the room to find her at a bookmarked Dali gallery =op(And such a lady!! She can't wait to grow 'boobies' and do her own 'nake-up'lol) Written November 10th, 2001 © on Nov 10 2001 04:48 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
