4:00


I celebrate and smile ... reflecting into a picture window
knowing she is seeing the same 4:00 sun
in her east Texas town down the road

I sweep and smile ... coaxing leaves together on a soft breeze
along with all your encouraging comments
when I was feeling ... not quite enough

I pause and smile ... into the graying face of a gentle
old friend watching each photo clicked in the quiet of a late afternoon
