She turns Eight

No, you do not need to have a birthday, I told her.  No need to turn another year older.  Seven was a fine age to stay full of butterflies, jump ropes, dolls, and cartwheels… 

But once again she did not listen to her mom, and skipped away to celebrate her birthday and taking a little piece of my heart with her. 

Has it really been eight years already?
