Easter Bonnet
In the recesses of my closet, I ventured upon an old Easter hat,
It was familiar to me, like a long-lost cat,
I remembered Mom wearing that hat in a faded photo,
My first thought was: where does the time go?
How could it be that this hat was able to survive?
It was worn on Easter in 1965!
In front of our house, the family Easter pose:
Dad, Mom, sister and me, in our best Sunday clothes!
My sister and I had frilly dresses, white gloves, black patent leather shoes & purses,
Lacey socks, white sweaters and smiles on our faces,
My Dad was looking dapper in his suit and tie,
He always was a good-looking guy!
My Mom’s hat, though, took the Easter prize,
And I had it in my possession now! What a nice surprise!
It was white and tall, with a Jackie Kennedy flair,
Any fashionista would find it wonderful to wear,
But the one I choose to display this beautiful treasure:
Juno! And if she could talk, she would say “My pleasure”.
