She calls me Sun Shine

by Heather Williams - Libra

The lone lady
Walking up the aisle of baked goods
And frozen fish and juice
You think she would be bitter
You think she should be mean
She's all alone
With her cooky glasses
And her sunglasses on top
Her pale green sun hat
In the middle of winter
Her 3 inch heels she can hardly stand in
And a summer skirt and and a winter blouse
I approach her
Ask her how she is
Tell her I miss her company in the store
She tells me about her cold
Upon parting I tell her to have a good night
And she calls me Sun Shine
Like she used to do 
I remember the day she told me how nice I was
And how I make her trip to the grocery store nicer
I remember how much she smiled when she saw me

Reason for writing:

    This crazy old lady comes in the store where I work. I am just reminded that the crazier the person looks, the nicer they really are.
