She bought it
Not long after arriving
At her new abode
From one of the local stores
Something for summer
It gets very hot
Searing heat really
It’s cotton
A rose pink color
With a design
The skirt is flared
It’s cool in the heat
Comfortable against the skin
Every season
She pulls it out
Though it is old
It’s a part of her now
She has some others
But this is her favorite
The age is showing now
The color is a bit faded
And there are some small holes
Nevertheless she loves it
Like a security blanket
The special dress
