Summer Hat

Summer Hat

Rose stitched onto a summer hat
Braided with love 
Hung upon a wall
Overhead grandma’s twin sized bed
Alongside her church dress
Burnt orange 
Long sleeved
Hemmed below the knee 
Clear pear shaped crystals along  its neckline

Good folk come around bedtime 
Conversing over old pastimes 
Words get through her head when she sleeps 
A song through the lips
A peck on the cheek
