Lilacs and purple columbine worn by Tom.
No need for lights this starry night.
The chariot awaits to carry you to prom
as Mom's camera keeps flashing so bright.
The perfect champagne dress which fits just right.
Accessorize, gold and pearls, matching shoes,
realizing not, what a glorious sight,
and of your future beauty giving clues.
Festive music plays, dancing as you choose.
With every turn, the smiling face of a friend.
Bittersweet giggles as memories amuse.
Happy school days coming to an end.
Celebrating that childhood is now gone
and your turn to hold the reins will now dawn.
Dedicated to my daughter Samantha for her senior prom 2005
*even though she didn't particularly like the last two lines
My youngest son just rented his tux for his girlfriend's prom on May 7th, inspiring me to share this slightly older poem.
