Love Someone Today
I perceive
in my mind
items undone and left to do
In a hurry
I search for more time
In this fast paced world I live
faster and faster
I push myself
from one item to the next
while waiting in line
my mind still racing
slows down when I observe
a chance encounter with a lovely lady
soft spoken and a heart of gold
the conversation begins light
then turns heavy
she opened up her heart of pain
her husband of many years just passed
she reminisced about the life they shared
her eyes became heavy with tears
I embraced her in her time of sorrow
I hope I showed her love
love someone today
