Little girls don’t enter your life quietly

 Little girls don’t enter your life quietly

they twirl in
with attitude
glitter
and princess dresses

with strong opinions
big feelings
and the loudest little voice

they leave toys everywhere
turn your house into their world
and somehow make it feel fuller than ever

they’re sweet one second
spicy the next

all baby dolls
and then climbing the couch like a wild thing

and before you know it

you’re softer
stronger
and seeing yourself differently

because now
you’re watching her become everything

and you love
every version of her
and yourself now too
