Timeless Art

PAD Challenge day 23: (already?!)For today’s prompt, write a historic poem. 

Yesterday, Earth Day, Victoria(for new readers,she is our youngest daughter, 14) remembered that two years ago on that day she had no school and we went to choose Emily's(our oldest daughter, almost 23) wedding gown...history is that thing that happens while we're busy living/loving.

Floating in white satin 

and dreams

of 'happily ever after' 

I watched you 

whirling, twirling,

as reams 

of silk laughter

wrapped round and round

my heart

where, bravely

clinging to

the ground beneath my feet 

I stood

wearing the hallmark of years

while you sparkled 

through tears

in glass slippers 

and sweet

love's

timeless art

Mom~
