The pretty one

She is up! So pretty and lovely. Much prettier than her surroundings with her dark hair and exotic amber eyes.  Every morning it is the same.  She puts on her make up, has a dress that matches her shoes that matches her purse.  Gloves are laid across the purse (just in case there is somewhere to go). She is beautiful and graceful.

I follow her around the house for a while.  She lights up a room when her friends are around, she smiles and laughs, but yet she is so sad...I want to tell her it will be okay.
Mama is happy today.  She cleans in her pretty dress, she fixes us lunch and I get to play dress up with her shoes and purses! What a fun day! Mama, you are so pretty!

Today she is up. Much prettier than her surroundings. She still has her dark hair and exotic amber eyes at nearly 80.  Today they search to remember.  I see it.. a spark of recognition...a little bit of sparkle in those lovely eyes! Today she smiles when I bring her shoes or a purse to dress up in! 

You are the pretty one!   i love you, Mama
