Pink Ribbons

She stared long
       At pink ribbons
        The perfect match
         Of pink dress
           I wore then
            Someone my age
             In tattered clothes
              Outside the temple
                I unloaded plaits
             And handed her
          My pink ribbons
       My parents smiled
     Seeing my act
    I had known
  I was right
