The title says it all.
The child of long ago
Sealed in a photo frame
The elfin smile,
Those golden curls
Always--
Forever
The tilt of the head,
Her quiet eyes
Little girl no more
Little girl forever
Lost, of course;
Yet preserved
To be remembered,
Reflected in quiet, older, eyes
Who else cares
But the little girl inside?
