Against the backdrop of the wind
western fork in the road
lay a shadow just east
of where she used to play with her father
swing her small heels in the sky

His hands on the grips of her hips
like the swiss air
that touched her skirt just above her kneecaps
floral, cotton
with his black hair still thick,
slightly greying
pushing her along the winds plight
as she sat in his arms

Those tiny arms
legs the size of the roses shadow
sitting on his lap
with his eyes gazing down on her

His stern legs held her close
until the wind said it was time to
say its farewell
with her small floral dress
now a full size
strapless; cream
walking down the isle
as he watched her become a woman
even if he missed holding her
down where the prairie now sits idle
