I'm still that little girl that used to ask for you to push me on the swings when I didn't know how to push myself.

I'm still that little girl that used to hold your hand while we walked across a busy street together.

I'm still that little girl that used to sit in front of the television watching "Sesame Street" all morning.

I'm still that little girl that used to cry for you when I didn't see your face.

I'll still be that little girl.

I'll eventually be that little girl going off to college.

I'll eventually be that little girl that buys her first car.

I'll eventually be that little girl that applys for her first job.

I'll eventually be that little girl that will walk down the aisle on her wedding day.

But I'll still be your little girl.

For now I'm that little girl trying to balance friends, family and school.

For now I'm that little girl that's praying to get that new iPod I saw at "Best Buy" for Christmas.

For now I'm that little girl running to her Momma for advice.

For now I'm that little girl making mistakes and trying to learn from them.

For now I'm that little girl trying to figure out life!

I'm just that little girl growing up.

Love is not forbidden but it is a risky to fall into,but if its real-than you should stay true. Love is a funny thing,it cant be bought like a diamond ring. Love is greif and pain, you feel lost and insane.Love is a wonderful treasure,keep it forever

I <3 what u wrote, growing up is awesome and sux at the same time. Whoever invented growing up forgot to make a word to describe it. I think one of these days I want to put a little of my stuff on this site, but I'm afraid it's just going to rot on this website and never be read by anybody, any advice?

I like the idea of the poem, but i don't like how often little girl is repeated. if i were to write it, i would just use little girl at the beginning and end..3 times max. but that's just me.
