Pale Baby Pink Rose

Flower in Your Hair

It was the first thing that
caught my eye
the big pale baby pink rose
on your hair,
grounding the flowing white veil
that announced a hope
of a life rich in love,
ripe with meaning,
abundant with joy
and
friendship.
A hint, of first blush
that seemed to mark out
a new chapter
from the old to the new.
Your back was turned to
the old secure nest
as you bravely faced
the promise
of a new adventure.
