Little Girl Lost

Ah, Norma Jean, a lovely girl,

Image: Bert Stern

takes on her glamorous disguise--

the platinum hair, the painted face

hides well the child behind those eyes.

Glitter and glitz, and bright smile flashed;

sad day for all when this star crashed…

to lose her light was such a sin,

forever remembered, Marilyn.
