Josie
Loves her little animals
Loves her little brother
He makes me laugh every day, she says.
Josie
Gets up early every morning
Gets her hair combed and her teeth brushed
And does her chores without being asked to.
Josie
Likes to practice her handwriting
Likes to take her notebook off by herself
And draw up her plans for life.
Josie
Says she's going to change the world
Says she's giving everyone clean water to drink
And I think she'll probably do it.
Josie
Asks me if I'll snuggle with her
Asks if she can have a hug every day
And I grab her quick and say 'what kind of a question is that?'
Josie
Acts like a goofball when it's bedtime
Acts like she's older than her years
But I think she's near perfection at seven.
