I saw you...

I saw you today
walking along the sidewalk
by the old first church
in your crocs
and socks
watching children play
and adults talk.

I wondered deep
inside what you thought
or were thinking

you were walking with purpose
long deep strides
but not in a hurry
not rushed or pushed
just walking.


So I passed you by
slowed
and turned my head
a thousand thoughts
thought
in a second.

Were you thinking
about children
about work
about Him
about
God?

as you walked....

I thought
and nod.
Yes
you were.

I saw you today.
I saw
you.
