I was exiting Trader Joe's
today
pushing my bright red cart
laden with good things,
already cooking up delicious
menus and anticipating
my first sip of a new wine.
A car was pulled up
to the curb, an elderly,
fragile looking woman
standing by her own red cart,
decked out smartly in
cute jeans and tee was
energetically taking charge,
trunk popped open,
ready to lift the groceries in
wistfully ~
Wish I could help
my grandma.
Wish I lived closer
to her.
Suddenly my eyes stung
with tears
my smile fading
as I made my way
bounty into my SUV,
vehicle de la norme
for American suburban moms,
I happened to glance
over at another,
larger SUV,
where a young father
cradled a {very}
new born baby ~
The daddy was a big guy
probably six foot five
pacing slowly near his car
whispering
I love you and it's okay
pacing slowly near his car
whispering
I love you and it's okay
in Trader Joe's
Probably one of her
first big outings since
wee baby was born.
My smile came back,
remembering
those days......
This was
remembering
those days......
This was
life
dancing her full waltz
dancing her full waltz
reminding me
of her
of her
infinite circle,
once again.
