Silky wisps of golden hair,
wide eyes of deepest blue,
wriggly,fussy,pouty mouth,
pale skin downy smooth.

bossy,busy tidies up,
likes to brush my hair for hours,
must have bubbles in her bath,
picks me the neighbors flowers.

stroppy,mopey whiney,
stays in her room ,away from the world
nothing’s fair,always fed up.
hard to please,typical girl

dramatic,stressed and lethal,
a tick,tick,ticking bomb.
trying to find her way in life,
can’t wait to be gone!

thoughtful.kind and loving,
settled ,quite patient and content
watching,nurturing her children,
as they grow into men.

there is more to come,I’ve no doubt?
into the future,forwards look,
time for her to write a chapter,
in the next installment of her book.
