"Although you've grown grown taller,
Your eyes have remained
The same shade of trusting brown
And deep down
You are still the little girl
Who stayed up late
Whispering secrets to her best friend
Beneath flower patterned sheets
And you're still afraid of spiders
And you still cannot sit still
And as you grew up
You noticed that the world
Is a lot smaller than it used to seem
And I think when you looked
Into the wonder-filled eyes
Of this little girl
You saw yourself
And it reminded you that
Although you've gotten taller,
Your eyes have retained
That same glimmer of hope"
