This one needs a title

Little girls make plans,
dream about weddings and babies. 
Little girls are full of hopes
and dreams.
Their intangible innocence
their innocent nature, 
intense curiosity
at the world around them. 
Little girls grow up 
and their hopes and their 
dreams fade away
when reality
steps in and changes 
their view. 
Reality which 
steals their very innocence. 
That little girl becomes
a woman with her own
hopes and dreams
that keep her hidden inside 
herself. Her world 
is small
and no longer 
does she hold that 
intense curiosity for the 
things that 
surround her. 
Fairy  tale weddings and 
barbie doll dreams 
gone with the wind.
A the woman 
looks back on the 
little girl
a small smile escapes her lips
as she is reminded that
life is journey 
that teaches, 
that hurts
that causes one to bleed.
It is a journey that 
brings about tears,
and smiles, 
hurts, 
bitterness and 
moments of intense happiness and 
joy. 
Life starts out as a little girl
but ends
as a woman 
who has lived a life 
that has become
a story to tell. 
The story better than 
any fiction novel 
could write. 
A story with a joyous beginning
intense plot
and ending that only time can tell. 
A story that only life
can write and time 
can narrate.
