Just Like Me

I saw an old picture,

All funny and brown,

Of a very old house

In a very small town.

Standing in front of

This very old house

Was a little girl just like me.

She wore a long dress

And a black velvet hat.

A china doll lay

On the step where she sat.

Ready to pick up

Her white china doll

Was a little girl just like me.

Someone had told her

To pause in her play

For the picture he took

On that long-ago day.

I wish I could meet her

As she used to be,

When my grandma

Was just like me.
