Revised Poem; The Photograph | Jessica Flory

You, the little princess, a precious jewel too,

if you could jump into the future, would you?


If you said yes, this is what you'd see:

an older you of course. That would be me.


Ask yourself, do you like what you know

about this "you" that you see and into whom you will grow?


Or are you disappointed with the “you” you'll become?

Am I too serious? Do I have any fun?


Did I mess up somewhere? Do I walk in the light?

Would you still love me if we met tonight?


From what I remember, I like what you do.

I loved my childhood; me, young, is you.


So tell me once more, do you like what you see?

If not, please change it! You will grow to be me.
