I Love This Girl

I love this girl, the

one who still retains a

glint of Eden in her smile

I love this girl, young

unformed imagination

not yet defiled

I love this girl, frozen

by Kodak on the

frontier of womanhood

I love this girl, eager

curious, hungry womb

simple ideation of good

I love this girl, dreams

still in the unwrapped box

short on wisdom long on hope

I love this girl, this

one in the picture,

where did she go?
