I sit quietly in the Mall’s food court
I wonder where each person
Is going, while I watch.
Some wander as though lost;
While some hold tightly to their kids.
Still others push a stroller,
Or maybe push a wheelchair,
Some stride with heavy purpose,
Looking for that special friend
With whom to chat while enjoying a snack.
Others meander aimlessly,
Helping an older adult find a place to rest,
Or maybe purchase some necessities
With help from that loved one pushing with joy.
Some try to navigate a walker amidst the crowd.
Friends meet friends
Joyously engaging in conversation.
Over a cup of coffee; or maybe an ice cream soda.
The chatter across the tables brings
A hum that fills the room with joyous vibes.
This is my inspiration for a mood
That lifts me up and energizes me.
My cup of coffee is now cold,
But my heart is full and warm.
