My real name is Sydney but whenever grown-ups come over to visit, they say, "Hey, Little Mama, you're getting so big!"
Our family is a little different from other families. But it's ok because we still get to see each other and spend time together.
Music is my real passion though! I don't know how to play a real instrument yet but when I hear music, it puts me in a good mood.
My real name is Sydney but whenever grown-ups come over to visit, they say, "Hey, Little Mama, you're getting so big!"
They always ask me, "Is that your real name?" I say yes because my grandmother told me stories about how my mother would call me "her little star-child", when I was still in her tummy. A really way long time ago! She would say, "Boy or Girl, no matter. Only that my little Star-Child comes out healthy." And when I did, she knew just what to call me.
This is me in costume for our Story-Book Theater show. I like dressing up in costumes and fancy clothes. And especially when we are going some place nice or when we are expecting company.
My grandmother says I can't have a real bunny rabbit because we travel too much to have a pet. The bunny would miss us and be really sad. But it's ok because I have lots of bunny pets on my Far-Away-Friend planet! They have dragons too but I'm not afraid of dragons.

I like animals. No, I LOVE animals! When I hear animals making noises, I feel like they are trying to chat with me and tell me all their animal-secrets.
Sometimes I feel really happy. I make costumes and dress up like my favorite animals and storybook characters.
I like the ideas that come into my head when I get to wear the costumes I create.

it feels like the grown-ups are always saying, "Do you need to take a time-out?" They are surprised when I tell them yes.
I like stories with wizards and magic potions and ancient gods.
I am not afraid to sleep in a tent. And I'm not afraid of cemeteries either. My dad told me that it's OK to admit when you're scared, because everybody is afraid of something. But for him, staying close to the people you love is nothing to be afraid of. My Daddy wasn't afraid of cemeteries. So I'm not afraid of cemeteries either.

Best Friends For an Hour
"Us (Abigail's Lullaby)"
Poetry by Paco-Michelle Atwood. Original music composed & performed by Zachariah Robinson.
Poetry originally written from the voice of Innocence...that free-spirited inner-child who is still fascinated and nurtured by the simple things in life; from the voice of that "special tribe" of individuals who are often misunderstood, isolated, or simply overlooked because they are "different" on the outside...but still choose to embrace and celebrate who they are on the inside.
