did you have any garments
that were not a shade of blue?
that's what I see you in
when I stop and think of you
you loved to tell the story
of your own sister's slip
I think it was at my wedding
how funny
you would quip
that your own sister
would say
and say it right to you
your dress shows off...
but wait
they're not
your eyes aren't blue
now sometimes
when I "see" you
a vision of time gone by
you wear your color
a childlike smile
and a glimmer
of blue in your eyes
My mom had very dark brown eyes but both her sibs had very blue eyes. I guess that's partly why my aunt got confused. Since I just posted the silly one about the girl who wore only purple I thought I'd dig out this old one about my mom's love of blue.
