daddy's little girl is growing up
but she still keeps it
with her
her old pink and mirrored music box
given to her by her dad
on her fourth
birthday
adorned with amethyst musical notes
and emerald spirals
and sapphire
ribbons
she still keeps it
with her
after twelve birthdays have passed
its jumbled contents
look a little
different
but the contents within her heart
have hardly
changed
