{my child}1-24-09
by Shonda Creemera simple brown box
that held so much
i gently opened it
ice blue chiffon
baby doll neckline
buttons all the way
down the back
sparkles that reminded
me of snowflakes
i looked up
and my grandmother's eyes
were filled with tears
as i slipped it over my head
my momma said
it's beautiful
simply perfect
and
he will love you in it
