Our Sweet Girl

I recall when you were three
and springtime rolled around ,
you’d make the cutest cards for me
with flowers 🌺 , hearts 💞 , and crowns. 👑 
 
Each glitter letter spelled my name;
you signed the name we gave you.
We thought you’d always stay the same….
our princess through and through.
 
I took for granted those pink cards
and braiding your long hair.
I guess we both let down our guard,
and thought you’d always care.
 
We used to twirl in fairy dust
and binge-watch girly shows.
When will our girl return to us?
Heaven only knows.
