While observing the gathering guest <br />and remembering eleven years past, when <br />She made her first debut on the world stage. <br />Wearing a soft juicy peach birth-day dress; <br />silk light brown threads capped her tiny head; <br />those little pink feet bicycling <br />as if readying to lead. <br /> <br />On this eve looking out on the mist <br />hovering the Hudson River, even daylight <br />couldn't clear the huddled clouds nor <br />the thick mist holding onto its place. <br />Everyone slowly crowded the hall <br />to await the second coming. <br /> <br />Heads turn toward a refreshed face <br />strolling down the aisle adorning <br />a pale blue gown <br />free-swinging <br />about her ankle. <br />A radiant beauty and <br />grace unparalling all... <br /> <br />grandma watches her <br />beautiful Junior Debutante <br />in delight! <br /> <br /> <br />MAY 26,2006<br /><br />Almedia Knight Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-special-occasion/
