The Gift Bag

I was told to bring an outfit for you.

One final outfit.

Your cute white dress with flowers.

I loved that dress. It reminded me of spring

And childhood.

A pretty little pink bow for your hair.

Your beautiful hair.

An amber neckless.

Bracelets. Lots of bracelets.

Can’t forget your bracelets.

You were a girl who liked her accessories.

One final outfit.

Any old bag wouldn’t do.

I couldn’t put your final outfit in a plastic bag.

It was wrong.

So, I grabbed a gift bag.

White with balloons.

You loved balloons.

One final outfit.

Carried in a gift bag.
