Square & Wish #96 - Pittsburgh, PA

Girly Swap quilt square.

Little Girls - Karen Barnes

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs
And all the precious memories of times that once were.
Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow
And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.
Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls
And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.
Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew
And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Enjoy your childhood and have fun making memories you will cherish for a lifetime.
