Screaming first breaths and counting tiny toes
10 is my favorite number
“Line up on your number, children,” first day of school
10 is my favorite number
Toeing the line between tom-girl and heels
10 is my favorite number
“Ugh mom, no one else has a curfew on the weekends!”
10 is my favorite number
Tear of joy
Run, twirl
Stop and think
Rinse and repeat
From beginning to end
My little girl forever
But for now,
