MY LITTLE NEIGHBOUR

- The Wandering Wordsmith

A little girl young and spirited

Carries with her the gifts of strength and cheer
One, from the old times, she must have inherited
To so state her bold thoughts loud and clear

Infectious with her energy she is

Her clear eyes no place for fear.
Very outright, is this young little miss,
To all those willing or unwilling to hear.

Curiosity has her on her toes all the while

As she absorbs everything she sees
Which she portrays as sharp wit and guile
With utter confidence and ease.

Positive I am, having enjoyed her ardor,

Her tenacity, her fervor, her glow,
That my little neighbor,
To a beautiful strong woman shall she grow.
