The Small Print

A photograph of an intent four year old
far more interested in her new toy
than in smiling for posterity.
A list of clothing:
denim jeans with pink denim ruffles,
matching gingham short sleeved shirt
and pink sneakers.
A description too:
three feet, 2 inches tall,
green-gold eyes,
chestnut hair in braids
with pink bows.
Nicknames she might answer to:
Punkin, Sweetie-pie, Little Love.
And finally, the fingerprint card
from her day care.
She was so excited the day they got
‘finger painted’ at school.
Such a small, small hand print
