Little Girl, with Shirley Temple curls

Little Girl, with big brown eyes

Little Girl, with a tutu and a crown upon your head

Little Girl, who left too soon

Little Girl, who lit up every room

Little Girl, it was your mission to bring joy

Little Girl, who loved her Barbie girls

Little Girl, who wiped away the tears

Little Girl, who never let her pain take away her smile

Little Girl, with the biggest hugs

Little Girl, I think about you every day

Little Girl, twirling in her Cinderella dress

Little Girl, singing songs and writing "Keep Out" signs

Little Girl, surrounded by her stuffed animals

Little Girl, you never did let anyone leave without a hug

Little Girl, you suffered too much

Little Girl, you never let it show

Little Girl, you changed so many lives

Little Girl, I know you're at peace now

Little Girl, there's still a hole in my heart

Little Girl, who comforted me when I was sad

Little Girl, I teased you so much

Little Girl, you got revenge on me and smirked when Mom wasn't looking

Little Girl, I never let anyone else tease you

Little Girl, no one knew how smart you were

Little Girl, so young, but a soul so wise

Little Girl, you still bring a smile to my face

Little Girl, the day you left the world grew darker

Little Girl, I smile when I see something I know you'd love

Little Girl, I hope you have all the Barbie dolls and princess dresses

Little Girl, I know I'll see you again one day

Little Girl, I'll tell your story until that day

Little Girl, I miss you

This is dedicated to my little sister. She passed away over ten years ago but I still think of her all the time. Today is her birthday.
