my little one!  my little one!
where have you gone?
beneath the little bed —
perchance within
a closet full of brooms?
my little one!  hide and seek
is your favorite game —
but now i see i cannot
ever find the little one!
life has given you the key
to maturity and you now hide
within a fully grown one!
my litle-big, my little-big!
so proud to find you —
all grown — the little one
no longer has to hide
beneath the bed!
