Best Guess
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

My best guess would be:
Here, now, the present.
No...
I try to see the future...
My best guess would be:
...What?
You asked me for my best guess
At where I'd be in the future,
But I can't determine that.
Wait!
I see a home.
A real home,
With children begging me --
Their mommy --
For the Sunny Delight in the fridge,
Bickering over who should get it.
I see sunlight shimmering on the
Countertop in the kitchen.
I see arms sliding around my waist --
I know who that is: my husband.
I see -- no, I hear whispered words:
"I love you."
I see dark nights where I'm sitting
There at my computer, a lamp and
The glowing monitor the only lights in the room --
And I'm writing my third best-selling novel.
So, my best guess would be...
Life.
