Window Curtains by De De A. Reid



Window Curtains by De De A. Reid

Sheer shadows, the window curtains made up part of her bridal veil.

The dark spike hair do is that of a young male.

Speaking what's on her mind, is a tender tale of the family love.

She smiles with a dazzle, when she remembers the man above.

A dad and a grandfather with lips that's aged and grim.

Her eyes are closed as the sun sets behind the trees; in a shady-shadow that always  remembers him.
