Elegy to Summer

The sun is gone
The days are shorter
Water is to cold to swim

Leaves are falling
Tents tip over
Summer is gone
For what seems
Like forever

I Am Mollie

I am mollie with frizzy hair and princess eyes
I wonder who I'll love when I'm older
I hear school bells and locker doors slamming
I see my sibling growing up
I want to do well in life
I am mollie with frizzy hair and princess eyes

I pretend I am a vampire warrior princess
I feel misunderstood by everyone around me
I touch my little sister's soft hair
I worry about relationships with the people I love
I cry when I think of leaving my family
I am mollie with frizzy hair and princess eyes

I understand that I'll have to grow up sometime
I say that I will eventually, but not now
I dream of becoming a wife, and a mother
I try to be a good daughter
I hope that all dogs go to heaven
I am mollie with frizzy hair and princess eyes

A knight in shining armor
And a horse, all in one day

And boxes

They were cars
And houses and trains
And beds and so much more

But now,
