When I Was A Little Girl
When I was a little girl
I used to chase butterflies
As I was running and jumping I felt like I was flying
Like the white butterflies I see above
They flap their wings and I flap mine
I was little, but I could fly
When I was a little girl
My mom bought an ice-cream
It was like a ball of fluffy snow
I lick it, it felt cold
I look at mom, she was smiling
And in my heart, it felt warm
As I grow, imagination and dreams began to disappear
Mom says I’m no more a little girl
And the ice-cream stall is no longer selling
Butterflies flew pass
And my wings became smaller
It became harder to fly or even jump
One day, when I wasn’t that little girl anymore
I look out the window
And saw white butterflies dancing with the wind,
A new ice-cream stall opening across the street
And I felt it again, that same heart-warming sensation that I felt
When I was a little girl
