sending sun

she dropped a note.
hasn't been doin' so good lately.

i read it just before a walk and told
her i'd take her with me.

and so i did.
holding her as i went.

at one point i turned the corner into
the bright bright sun.
i closed my eyes and just felt it as
i walked.
i felt the sun on my face and sent her
sun.

i could hear the boys scolding me in my
mind at one point: 'mom! don't close your
eyes when you walk....you gotta look where
you're goin'.' i grinned thought how you
can't scold someone for sending sun. and
just kept walkin' with my eyes closed.

it felt so good and warm and healing....
the perfect thing to send her.

i rounded the corner, hit the shade and opened
my eyes.....what a beautiful day. i threw in
some shade to the mix and sent it her way.

i hope she felt it.
