only 3 white dresses

little baby 

calm innocence stares out at me

as I snap her picture in an eyelet white dress

So new, so inspiring

her sweet spirit shines

8 years later in a white jumpsuit

covenanting with God through baptism

her sweet spirit has now been teamed with a personality of cuteness

I hear her singing "I'm trying to be like Jesus"

now I am holding her last white dress

lace tricot with puffy short sleeves

her sweet innocent eyes and playful smile are seen

in glimpses, visions, memories
