Bronze
foundation and pink blusher
Oh
if she could wear them soon
Dab
some brightly coloured
eye shadow
on her eyelids
Run
a wand of black mascara through the roots of her tiny lashes
Fewer
beads, less da brats
Less
cornrows, do away with pigtails
Enough
with the candy-looking hair bands
Maybe
more curls
More
tongs and more waves
Reduce
the dolls
The
little one’s woes
Sick
of her coloured stockings
And
the polka-dot ribbons
More
jewellery, perhaps
The
silver definitely looks better
Much
better than her pink plastics
One
more piercing for the ears
Probably
a tattoo with ‘yin-yang’
More
coffee
Play
less rope, less clapping games
Rather
the more intellectual ones
The
chess and checkers
All
these and more
Growing
pains
Soon
to be adolescent anxieties
Little
one, if only you knew
That,
is one great stage in life!
