When I Was A Pretty Young Girl

I was a pretty young girl once
at twelve, Halloween.
My parents dressed me so
and pressed me to go out
when I turned shy of it

Somewhere there is a picture

I remember the men’s eyes
just before they realized

Ed... There are some things from childhood that just burn in the memory. This one feels bitter-sweet.

You look back at a picture of you... only to shift the focus so we're looking at the picture you've painted of others and taking a look at ourselves.

I like this very much, my friend... even though it leaves a bit of sadness. *S*

Got a little taste of the other side of the coin? You must have been awfully brave to do that.

I ain't sayin' exactly what I wore.....

And no, I didn't get teased...at least not nearly as much as the kid my age who made a pass at me before he realized who I was....in front of a half-dozen other boys and within range of about twenty grown-ups at the church social.....HE REEEALLLY heard it!
