Almost perfect, eternal,
the bright smile of her daughter
Shirley Temple locks shining,
a pure moment of bliss;
Turning, spinning out of control,
singing to herself, to the angels,
Dancing in the store aisles,
Dancing in her giggle feet.
A change so quickly,
A cloud descending,
a “no” setting off explosions,
a chain reaction, quickly,
crying, stomping her feet;
A sudden meltdown,
her world was crushed,
a moment complete.
A snack, another turning,
from chaos to happiness,
her joy was restored,
A big smile shining,
a return of giggle feet;
Turning, laughing, gleeful,
Dancing in the shopping cart,
Dancing in her seat.
