Little Girls

Go softly with your steps, little girls Enjoy the sweetest innocence For soon this cruel world unfurls Its dark reality and pretense. Go swiftly with your youthful walk Feel free, release the laughter For Time will change the girlish talk To memories you can't remember. Then, too quickly will fly the hours And vanishing will be the years Soon a lady may be in the mirrors Trying to wipe away her tears. Go bravely through your life, little ones Learn wisdom and have courage For trials may test your Faith in the One Who holds everything in life's pages.
