Big Girl

She�s not a little girl any more,
She�s certainly made that clear.
�For goodness sake.. I am six or four!
Don�t you know that Mama, dear?�

�I�m big enough to reach the light,
In just about every room.
I get all ready for bed at night.
I even bring you the broom!�

�I brush my teeth every single day
And I wash my hands and face.
I don�t go in the street when I play
And my shoes I try to lace!�

�I can jump from the top of the chair,
Way down and land on my feet!
Mama gets mad when she sees me there,
But she thinks I�m kind of sweet..�

�My Daddy tells me I�m really smart.
Yes sir, golly, I�m no fool!
One of these days ago I did start
To go to my Sunday school.�

       � To say she�s not big will make a fuss,
       So with her we all agree.
       � But she�s still our little girl to us
       � And we know, she�s only three!
