Honest Mothers

Tonight on the train I met a nice family from North Carolina. The mother was so excited about my life. Her words were, enjoy this time because before you know it you will be married with four kids. Her eyes said, these are the days you will remember.

I can picture myself on the street outside the very house I sit in now. Ten maybe twenty years older, surrounded by children. I am pointing up to the beautiful stained glass winter garden windows. These are good days.
