Tiny Dress

By Nola Patty

The tiny dress

Now the value is low

But my love for it is high

Its blue and yellow

A size small in kids

I’m never going to fit in again

But it reminds me of good times

Way back when life wasn’t complicated

Back when all I did was smile

I miss that girl in the tiny dress

That version of me who had no care 

All that mattered was if I was laughing

Good music, good food

Constantly being around my parents

Why did that era have to end

Growing up sucks

I wish I could be back in that tiny dress in 2009

Take me back to that tiny dress
