A Wedding Dress Without Her Bride.
A wedding dress without
Her bride
Sitting in the shop window
Admirers stopping,
Looking,
Wishing.

Little girls, dreaming of that
Fairy tale wedding
20-something women dreaming of
Finding Mr. Right and
Old married women, remembering
A simpler time.

But I go into that shop
Past that
Wedding dress without
Her bride and go back
To the very back racks
To the lonely dress without
Even a manniquin to fill
That empty space for now

I take that dress off that rack
And admire its sad beauty and
Dream of my fairy tale wedding
Of finding Mr. Right and being able to
Look back on a simpler time

As I put the dress back and
Walk out the door I see
A mother and daughter admirinig the
Wedding dress without her bride
Sitting in the shop window
The mothers face in rememberence of a simpler time
And the daughters face
Full of hope for her better life to come.
