DRESS UP DAYS...

Dress up days

FOR KIDS

I don't mean the times

They dressed up for Church

Or for special holidays

But the times they found

A long dress in their moms closet,

And their moms high heel shoes

Oh and the hats they found

In a hat box in the closet.

Please mom, please....

They were in seventh Heaven...

And the special box

In a best friends basement,

Filled with formals

And a box of high heels.

That insured them a great

Play day...

I grew up in

Dress up days

My girls grew up in

Dress up days

But this day and age

It seems there are

Dress up days

Filled with Princesses

Bought at Target

Or on Amazon.

Stealing the creative ability of a child.

They are expensive, beautiful

And they sparkle

I'm sure the little girls

Probably get more excited

Over Princess dresses

That sparkle

Then the ones that hang

Over their shoulders

And drag on the ground.

Either way, they can still

Have fun while singing

"I'm so fancy"
