Oh, Saturday

these days feel suddenly like they are worth gold,

knowing they will soon be

gone.

or at least different.

they will probably not involve

sleeping in until 9,

and staying buried in the covers for another hour

with a book.

Leisurely

enjoying spoonfuls of yogurt

with freshly cut-up fruit

for breakfast

Having an entire afternoon free

no plans.

no where to be.

no one who needs me.

Sitting in the sun,

on the grass

sipping iced tea

listening to this.

This is Saturday.

Spontaneous afternoon walks in Antigua

with my love

stopping for ice cream

without carrying…

a diaper bag,

a burp cloth,

anything.

Grocery shopping

or maybe

Chinese take-out.

No schedule.

just me and him.

It’s easy, flexible and

about

to

change.

Saturdays will look

different.

So I will

soak up,

enjoy,

read,

sleep

and treasure.

But I’m ready

to welcome

our

little

girl

to

our

Saturdays.
