Never Grow Up

Never grow up - little princess,

This my wish,

Selfish - I know 

But how can I let go,

Of your big smile that brightens my day,

Your little hugs - oh the most warm,

How can I?

But one day, little Linette,

You will be all grown up

Because time - my undefeated foe,

Will never let you remain, my little princess,

So for today, I'll smile and hug you back,

Precious times you still are - my little princess.
