Confidence

 

Faith rising in the east

calm after the storm 

pressed suits and uncomfortable shoes

the good word awaits

the sidewalk alive with parents

and children

too many to count 

So sweet and innocent

Mom and Pop 

anxious to compare clothes 

recipes

scarves 

and neighbor gripes

Such content 

such confidence 

must be nice to know 

to know the way of the universe

makes a scarf much more important

makes a  casserole interesting 

nothing wrong with community 

nothing wrong with smiles and suits 

just wave

maybe eye contact?

we can all be different right?
