Girls

A bounce, a flounce
A swirl, a twirl-

There's nothing like
A little girl;

With hair to brush
And songs to sing,
Babies to hold
And legs to swing,
They occupy
Their precious time
With coloring pictures
And clapping rhymes.

They match their clothes

Run hand in hand;

They make up dances

And dig in the sand.

They work together

To get a job done,

They love cute purses

And eat chocolate for fun.

Even though girly
From head to sweet socks
They'll play some ball

And climb on rocks.

Side by side

Through thick and thin
Not just cousins and girls,
They're friends.

I'm thinking you wrote that one. It was too perfectly worded to be anyone else!

It was me...I think in rhyming couplets most of the time (although Shakespeare I am not!)

Oh my gosh, was this cute!! Positively adorable!!

I came for a visit via Mindee’s blog and was captivated by all of your beautiful photos. I have a four year old daughter who also has a best friend/cousin which is my heart’s delight (since my daughter will, sadly, never have a sister to grow up with- just two big, stinky brothers :) )

Girls, and especially girl cousins, really are such a treasure. So glad I got to see and read this!
