Little You:

You hide behind my legs,
Peeking at strange friends.

You climb my body as if
I were a tall tree.

You hug me tight
determined to force a hug.

If another touches me,
You scream:
No!

If another tries to grab my attention,
You scream:
No!

If another takes what is mine,
I hear your battle cry:
No!

Little You,
When will you say:
Yes?
