Yellow Curtains
Sunlight filters through the yellow curtains that are hanging in the kitchen window of our little house. Im cooking dinner
as you come into the kitchen to get a glass of water and wrap your arms around my big belly. Our daughter will be here soon.
Weve already decided she will be named Jane Autumn. Shell have your dark hair and my grey eyes. She will be beautiful. After
dinner, I slide on some shoes and we go outside for a walk. We stroll through the neighborhood holding hands and leaning into
each other. Then we stop in the park and watch the blazing pink sunset slowly fade into darkness. When the stars start to
appear, we walk home. And all the way, I think about how much I love you. Back at the house, we kiss each other goodnight
in front of those yellow curtains that are hanging in the kitchen window of our little house.
