Childhood Memories Poem

1-year old me sitting pretty

In her white and blue dress

Her black hair in little braids

An adorable dimpled smile on her chubby-cheeked face

That will steal the hearts of many

Her chubby hands grasping a book

Titled Baby Daisy’s Walk, which has

A cute picture of Baby Daisy Duck in a stroller

And a blue bird

Golden jewelry rests on Lordy’s body

The background a soft blue 

Seven-year old me all dressed up

For school picture day

I am modeling a red skirt and a matching

Shirt with the word “Girls” inscribed in black

My hair (longer this time) in two braids

With red barrettes, an innocent

Look on my face, and a cute smile

My hands are in my pockets

The background appears to be a

Treehouse with a balcony 

     

In my 3rd grade class picture

I am sitting in the front row

Sandwiched between Samantha Jakuboski and Nicola Nanco

My hair is in- you guessed it- braids!      

Glasses resting on my eyes and a toothed smile on my face

This time I am sporting the uniform white blouse and plaid jumper

Plus fancy pantyhose

Legs together and hands folded

Like the pretty little lady I was (and I’m still a pretty lady!)
