She is a beautiful fragrance
born on the cusp of summer
like a flower pressed
to release the heart of a bloom.
She holds the charm
of sunlight in her golden-brown hair
and the air sparkles around her
smile, and my son’s, delighted to be her groom.
Two flames, soon one,
lit since he danced in my womb,
with my hand rested there in prayer
for him—she, the answer born of God’s perfume.

Perfect timing at What’s Going On? as today is my son’s fiancée Emma’s birthday.
Happy birthday, sweet girl!
