Ribbons Undone
Ribbons Undone
by Tori Amos
She’s a girl
rising from a shell
running to spring
It is her time
It is her time
Watch her run
with ribbons undone
She’s a rose
in a lily’s cloak
She can hide her charms
It is her right
There will be time
to chase the sun
with ribbons undone
She runs like a fire does
just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
a pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
you follow her laughter
And then she’ll surprise you
Arms filled with lavender
Yes my little pony
is growing up fast
She corrects me and says
“you mean a thoroughbred”
A look in her eye says the battle’s beginning
From school she comes home
and cries
I don’t want to grow up Mom
at least not tonight
You’re a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through Spring

I still always think of Hannah when I hear this one.
How do you manage to get her to do the washing up ?

I'm blessed with my children.
I had been doing the dishes. She went and got her bench, brought it to the sink and set herself up. She told me to take a break.
How cool is that?
I can't argue with that. When it comes to my kids I have no modesty whatsoever.
That's very cool although they're sort of cuter when they're younger.
I can't get my 16 year old to do anything at the moment. It drives me round the bend. She's still my best friend though !!!!

Ohhh I want to kiss her!
She'd soak it up! She loves being loved and kissed on.
That makes me a happy Mumma.
