Sweet Saturday

She wakes early on a Saturday morning. He's not there. She roles over to find two red carnations tied together on the pillow in his place. The blinds are up and it is snowing giant gum drop flakes. She smiles that big warm smile that he always brings to her face. She sits up in bed and suddenly the door opens. It his he! "Oh! My Prince!" she says through a giggle. "You have returned! You have come back to me!" He smiles back at her, "But never have I left my lady! For yours I am always, sweet princess." He comes over and crawls back into the covers. With the flowers in her hand, his arms around her, and a kiss on her forehead she drifts back to sleep. Oh sweet Saturday.
