Miss Nine....

for her it's never too late or too early.
she thinks sleep is for the weak.
she is a clever little cookie and can colour up a storm.
sometimes she's quite crafty but she still likes to ride her skateboard, she is really good too.
she has an amazing strong will and
never gives in. she will grow up
believing she can conquer the world.
she sometimes daydreams and transports herself to her own little world of
puppies and mermaids and music.
she dances wildly and
will forever.
sometimes she cracks herself up
and that,
that
makes everyone else giggle too.
she is a good girl.

She...

she likes to read Harry Potter.
she thinks he is clever.
she believes in magic.
she knows she will grow up
and make a difference in the
world.
she giggles.
she loves rainbows and smarties.
she likes cats and
she likes dogs too.
In fact she likes goldfish, birds, snails
and elephants.
Oh and whales she loves whales.
she is happy when she gets great big hugs off
her mum.
that's the best!!!

a boy on his way....

he has this street smart spirit that never gives in
he didn't learn it at school and he didn't get it from a book
it was born in him
he is the type of boy that believes he can be anything he wants to be

he loves surfing in the sunshine
he eats big waves for breakfast
when he grows up he will jump oceans
and move mountains
he will make his life the best,
he will take his life wherever it can go
he is the King of his world
Greatness will be him.

Her watermelon bag...

Her heart told her to go shopping. Yes. She would and in one hand she would take that lovely little watermelon bag, the one her mumma had given her. It would fit her little phone and purse and hanky- just in case. Her mumma was a funny lady for she had no idea what the just in case hanky was for, but she took it everywhere- just in case. The other hand held freedom- the freedom to go from store to store browsing and buying if the need arose. The freedom to wave to people passing by but most importantly the freedom to hold her coffee...it helps her focus on the task at hand which of course like every other day is buying bits of love for those she loved. What a perfect day!!

Happy Snaps....

she liked to take photographs,
they captured fun times
and moments to remember
often she would sit and ponder
those moments
and things and people
that fade in and out of her world
some people stay for long moments
others not so.....
but still they all leave
an impression-
she giggles when she thinks of moments
long ago,
fun moments, kid moments,
silly ridiculous moments.
all captured in pictures....
.....they transport her to that carefree time.
she smiled and snapped another one.

Her red shoes...

she liked to pop on her red shoes. they made her smile,
her tiny fake heart tat made her smile too.
her feet had a life of their own with those red shoes on,
they bopped and bopped.
she danced to her own tune.
she danced like there was no tomorrow.
she giggled and remembered those songs that shaped her life.
music, dance, music, words. she smiled.
she felt so lucky.
life was good.

A Big Day....

She knew today would be a big day.

A new chance, she took a deep breath in, she smelt the cookies in her oven

mmmmmmm…..

They smelt like her mother’s kitchen.

She would walk today.

She was going to smell the flowers and watch the clouds roll by.

She is going to call her mum to say

thanks and remember when.

She would pick up her coffee with a smile.

It’s the little things, they make up all the big things; her dad was right when he told her that.

She will stretch out on the grass and just be happy

for today is the day she will start living the life she dreamed.
