Buttons and Beads
buttons and beads
ribbons and lace
a flowery dress
skirt frills flirting with ankles
that's the lady
I was meant to be
but life's trials
and the need
to plough and till
to plant and weed
gave me shirts
friends with dirt
pants grey with use
greatest affinity with soil

I loved this! Life seldom gives us what we think we're meant for but it's still good.

Buy it anyway, Grace, and skip down that path in your avatar pic. The dress would match perfectly those pink flowers in the trees 🌸🌸🌸
All the best.💐
