dress up

today i will take my little sister

i will watch as she puts on her pretty wedding dress and stands and looks in the mirror.

i will hold her little veil on her head - just so.

i will stand back and admire her

her beauty

her youth

her hope

her joy

her love

her *being* loved


and i can't help but remember her the age my daughter is now. small and sweet with her tiny lips and big brown eyes while i dress her up like my little dolly
