Little girl, do you feel many eyes watching you each day,
while, in sun or rain, outside you carry on ….at your play?
It's just me, your multi-eyed little pencil-case-spider-friend.
Remember when last year, on playground, me you did defend?

She's up at dawn...to water, AND to hoe,
then takes her mid-morning break to GO …
to the hay mow to present her 'furrow' …
to "Farm Boy" who 'sows' in "Country Girl".

painted his face like a doll-girl.
Then he waited at an alley dustbin
hoping his boring life would unfurl.

I like hearing Blane talk to HIS child;
his "Daddy" voice is playful and mild.
It reminds me of when
Shannon was half-of-ten,

Manu finished his mango pie.
He grabbed an Espresso-to-go,
and settled into his Ferrari with a sigh.

Goldheart Bird is this youngster’s lovely poetic-online-name,
but someday she may be better known for her violin-playing fame.
Right now I tease her, a little bit, about her “poor”.... spelling,
but she may scoff at me, judiciously, when her career does get gelling.
