One Great Purim

This is a poem about a young girl who has her first purim.

One Great Purim

It is morning and I'm as happy as I can be,
for I do think it is a day for you and me.

Mommy walks in through my open brown door,
she says,"Well, what are you waiting for?"

With excitement, I jump out of my bed,
in the closet is a shiny crown for my head.

My sister Malky comes in with a smile on her face,
in her hands is a white gown trimmed nicely with lace.

I walk to the mirror and look at what I see,
a pretty girl appears and out the door I flee.

Mommy and sis take me to the neighborhood shul,
where talking is now allowed, that's a rule.

During megilla reading, I make sure to be quiet,
a prize in the store, mommy will buy it.

To neighbors I bring baskets of food,
and I see their faces shine in a joyous mood.

Mommy gives me a tzedakah penny,
to do more mitzvos, there is plenty.

Come and join me for the purim meal,
a table full of food, how great we all feel.

At night, mommy tucks me under my cover,
tomorrow a big day, it is another.
