Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own
This song used to make me feel a little sad. But now that Valerie is seven, I get it. It is a beautiful song to me now. It is Valerie.
And this is her birthday dress.
She love, love, loves dragons. When I found the dragon fabric I thought it might be a little scary. Not at all. It was exactly what she had in mind. And she wanted another "vest dress." Complete with the black industrial strength zipper.I love, love, love that that Valerie is her very own seven-year-old person.
I love that she loves Dragons!
ReplyDeleteYou are handy with a needle and thread! And what a great feeling that it was "exactly" what she had in mind. Happy 7th birthday to your girl!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute birthday dress! Wish my Beanie was still into stuff like that, now she's 11 and she does her own outfits now!
