Lil Sister Kori

Just a little girl
flashing lights in flashing shoes
a smile to melt hardest steel.
Chasing our poor kittens
in between hugs for all
humming spring-like songs.

She shyly tucks behind
Mama’s protective arm
peeking ‘round, bashful, shy.
Innocence shinning, oh so bright
life over-filled with living
contagious, wildfire, infecting.

The room laughing as one
moment carved from pure
adult glances filled with smiles.
Kittens creep slowly from hiding
coaxed with girlish promise
she cries with fresh delight.

Busy as busy as she can be
happy hugs all around, again
our sister, our friend, our buddy.
Just a lovely little girl
gifting childhood glimpses
a smile to melt hardest heart.

6 yrs old...goodness that seems like such a long time ago and let me tell you the kittens are not the only ones tired, but would not trade the happy smiles, and laughter for anything. Her mama has had no rest in the last 6 yrs so guess we should be thankful that we only have happy tired for hours at a time.
Yaaaawn
Annie
