At Last

from the ABC set Lacework

You said, at last, your chance to wear a big hat,
choice of colour,
generational mood of the bride's mother;

but all I could vision
was dressing your hair in sunbeams and starlight.

All twinkle and merriment, brilliant as diamond
compressed from the carbon of hearts.

Hi lenchenelf,

A little cracker,I wouldn't
minded a hat like that,vision of starlight
and diamonds in her hair,compressed carbon
of hearts.
Mine at daughter's beautiful lilac,but covered

Happy new year.

Wonderful - especially the way it bursts into freedom in the second two stanzas.
