Suki and I have to eat with the kids
I want to stay and listen
My curiosity bubbles over
but the kids latch onto me
as soon as I walk into their room.
"Harmony!"
They chorus.
"Oh we missed you!
Daddy promised us
he said you'd come back
but you didn't!"
I blink in surprise.
They missed me?
A smile creeps it's way onto my lips
and I hug them back,
"I missed you too."
Suki looks out of place
and awfully awkward
as she sits on a stool
by the desk.
That's when I realize
that we're in our room.
But now, it's painted pink
and full of dolls and toys,
frills and sparkles.
Our old bed is replaced
by a beautiful white bunk bed
with a lace canopy.
There are shelves lined with books
and a new closet sits snugly
in the corner.
Oh,
I feel my heart sinking.
My eyes prickle
but I hold the tears back.
It's unfair!
my heart screeches
You're going to be alright.
my mind consoles.
