DRESS UPS

She's dressing up in fancy clothes -
satins, silks, and ancient lace,
high heeled shoes with skinny legs,
lipstick on a pouty face.
This child-like game of dressing up -
"I'm Mrs. Butterfield," with made-up voice -
will turn to laughs in later years
(in photos shown to friendly boys).
But now, my little girl and I,
("Mrs. Butterfield" and crony—me)
we're sitting down to lemonade.
(We're pretending that it's tea.)
Many kids love playing dress up, trying on old clothes to help aid in pretending. I wrote when my kids were young and still occasionally dressing up. This is part of my poetry book titled Love, Feelings and the Seasons of Life which is looking for a publishing home.
