Purple Bouquet
Purple bouquet in her arms.
She came to an abrupt stop.
Lurking under a shadow of a dove.
Like a mother lion protecting its cubs.
Daddy, this is me.
I’m fulfilled like you told me, I will.
She heard a soft whisper.
Serenading her whole being.
Like a soft breeze.
Mama, this is me.
You said it will be so.
She exhaled deeply.
The beginning of an era.
A lifespan of a caterpillar.
Mama, daddy; this is me.
Thank you for making me the woman I am.
She breathed out her heart.
He breathed out his soul.
Two lives, one soul.
A penguin’s pebble.
Mama, daddy, this is me.
I know it is so.
A purple promise embezzled in her destiny.
Mama, thank you.
I’m strong because of you.
Daddy, thank you
I have blossomed to be a queen.
A princess’s dream.
I’m almost there.
