still a little girl

Who ever said that I was too old
to have my favorite Teddy Bear
set on my bed every night
I like to cuddle it
it makes me feel better
Whoever said that I was
Too old for dolls
to be lying around my room
in placement for where I put them
I like them and that
is all that seems
to so simply matter
You tell me to grow up
but I don't hear
a word that you say
I just choose to ignore them
I am still a little girl
and that is how I am going to stay
