My Little Girl's Dreams

by Rajendra Khare
(Delhi, India)

(1)
You are a little girl
With a small frock
and a secret lock
Wherein you keep your dreams -
You check them in the mornings
and keep them back
So they don't perish in sunshine.

You are a little girl
With a small frock
and a secret lock
Wherein you keep your dreams -
You check them in the evenings
and keep them back
So they don't get dark in night.
