Gowns, buckles,and slippers.



Gowns, buckles, and slippers.

I look, and there you stand. Your gown is made out of the finest wool from the pretty lambs we pull. I see on your feet lined slippers for the cold with the buckles made out of pure gold. A belt made out of straw and ivory buds with amber studs. Come live with me, and you will see I love you we are meant to be. There is no other. I will make you a bed of fresh-smelling roses where we can lay and doze off into a sea of dreams. Then you will see you are my friend, and we make a great team.
