(for Meri)
when she was born
I thought of everything I’d give her:
colored pencils for sketching
like her great-grandma Julia
pastel paints
like her grandma June
and Contee crayons
like her Dad
she took the ballet lessons
I always wanted
and practiced the piano
like I failed to
she chose to be a teacher
a teacher and a Mom
like me
and the too-tight blazer
I handed off to her today
fits her perfectly
