WINDOW REFLECTIONS

Tall buildings,big windows

Reflect busy, city life.

Little girl skips through the crowd,

Curls bobbing, new dress,

Excitement for a special day.

Crowds around big windows,

Santa hears bold wishes.

Noses press against glass,

Dissonant sounds of Christmas

Celebrate a special day.

Big windows image life,

Tall,blonde girl

Sees herself reproduced

In manikin's wedding dress,

Plans for a special day.

Windows mirror khaki, navy, tan.

Blackout curtains at the top.

Fear and sorrow iin the air.

Couples long for togetherness

Waiting for the special day.

She is imaged in the windows,

Reflecting busy, city life.

Noisy crowds bustle by.

She clutches his medal of honor.

Where is that special day?
