Plans

We lived a classic summer
of swimming pools and sunburns.
And as the leaves began to change
we had to rearrange some of our plans.
We painted frames and headboards,
repurposed rooms and storage.
And as the days grew short and cold
we were focused more on making plans.
So in the spring your mother
will bring to us another.
And they may need more of our time,
you will still be mine.
You are the only first.
