Marry you
in Autumn

Janet Kuypers
9/13/17 and 9/14/17

When I fell in love for real
he then said to me,

I want to marry you

I want to marry you
in Autumn
when the leaves are changing
when the weather is perfect

I felt the enchanting
changing season

this is now our transformation

when he said to me,

I want to marry you
in Autumn
