A few years ago
My grandmother bought me
A nice
Long
Beach dress.
With a thin
Deep
Blue
Trim.
A beautiful
Dark shade
Of blue.
Like the night sky
Or
The deep
Dark
Ocean.
It’s white.
The fabric.
All white.
With
Tiny little palm trees
Scattered all around,
Like puzzle pieces
Scattered
Across the floor.
It’s a sort of
Memory
To me.
A memory of my childhood.
I used to love dresses.
Every day
I would love to wear one.
Dance
And spin
And twirl
With the soft
Swaying
Fabrics
That flew around me
When I spun.
But now
Now I have grown
And I have
Outgrown
My love
For the dresses
All
Except
For that one
Dress.
The one
With
The soft
White
Fabric
And the deep
Deep
Blue
Trim
And small
Little
Palm trees
Scattered around the dress
The one dress
I enjoy wearing
The one dress
Which I still hold on to
The one dress
Which I will never let go of
And when i finally outgrow it,
When it finally
No longer
Slips through my arms
And settles at my waist
I will still
Hold on
To the memories
It carried
And how much I loved
That
One
Dress
