it was just
plaid taffeta...
.
red and black taffeta
i'd bought it not sure
what i'd make
then i turned it into
the bottom
half of a dress for my
sweet sarah
a bow tie
for her handsome brother
even a skirt for me
on
a sunday afternoon
the 19th of december
my family of four
walked into
the state theater
for a live performance
of the nutcracker
a plain dealer photographer
captured this pose
and soon that red plaid taffeta
became the symbolism
for christmas
nineteen ninety two
i cherish the memories
so very thankful
our girl was
healthy that day
so grateful we
spent the time
together
