Baby Girl Poem by Marea Johnson

Baby Girl

Rating: 4.8


When I was just a baby girl
I'd look up to the skies
I'd brush away the tousled hair
that fell into my eyes.

I'd ask for all the answers
to almost everything there was
And why this little baby girl
would do the things she does.

The heavens had no answers
and the stars had no advice
I only knew this baby girl
was not of sugar spice.

An intriguing poem. It leaves me wondering what happened to this little girl later. Are there the seeds of a longer poem here?
