Yesterday I noticed a few blonde hairs mixed in my chestnut brown hair
They blend in until I looked closer
Little strands barely there
They reminded me of when when I was a child
Sunny hair and a freckled face
Bright blue eyes and an always smile
Big front teeth and rosy pink lips
I forget what it felt like to have blonde hair
I forgot what it was to feel free
I know my childhood was not all smiles
Mostly rainy days and hiding away
But I cherish the moments when the sun came out
And I laid in the dewy grass talking to the trees
I remember now how I loved my blonde hair
That glowed under the shining stars
I remember now how I smiled when I looked in the mirror
Loving my reflection, my whole self
Now as I stare at those few blonde hairs
I remember how beautiful I can be
I remember the child that still lives within me
I hope she never leaves
