Even when snow is on the ground, and the cold stings, she's smiling
I'm thinking it's gratitude for the freedom to do what she wants, regardless of
Parents who may think it's way too cold to be outside this morning in a princess dress
A Short sweater, unbuttoned, walking the old dog, slowly, along icy sidewalks.
There's no anguish in her eyes, no worries for tomorrow, just the peace of being in
This moment, this cold morning, in the dress she has worn continuously since her
Opa bought it for her...how many days ago?
Yet I do not find humility in this bundle of energy and confidence, not in this one who claims
To know it all already, from skiing to sewing,
Perhaps it's best to step into the world with confidence, stumble and fall, only to find yourself
Up again on stronger ground, ready to learn what is right in front of you.
