WHAT IS A GIRL?

My very good friend Ann in Florida sent me this poem as an email....thought I'd share!

what is a girl?

she's a bundle of sweetness and brightness and fun
the beauty of springtime, the warmth of the sun
she's innocence covered with mud, sand and soot
she's motherhood dragging a doll by the foot
she's a composite picture of giggles and tears
of tantrums, excitement, amusement and fears
a bundle of mischief and often a tease
a creature of moods not too easy to please
who can capture your heart with her pixie like grin
or chatter and beg till your patience wears thin
but obedient, naughty, mischievous or coy
she's mom's little darling full of pride and joy
