\"A Little Girl Again\"

"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. To sit upon my mothers lap, feel the warmth within her heart that took all my fears away. 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. 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.
