WEDDING DAY

All through the years,
she was the younger sister,
background music,
quiet, unnoticed,
but it was at her sister’s wedding
that someone noticed her,
a few dances, a phone number,
and she came home a different daughter,
the only daughter,
now the noticed one….
And in time she too blossomed.
She dated. There were more dances
with the phone number,
while her sister was on her honeymoon,
while her sister settled into marriage,
and one of these days,
it will be her wedding day.

Life: blossoming, unfolding,
petals opening, but all of us
at different times. Interesting isn’t it?
