Patricia Leduc Poet Light Verse

Frozen Peas

Frozen Peas

I saw a lady in her bathrobe today
Entering the local grocery store
Her eyes were all glazed
She walked around unfazed
She shuffled all alone
Off she went to the freezer
Picked up some frozen peas
Shook her head do I need these?
I watched for awhile
Then I had to smile
A frail little man
Frantically looking
For the wife he had lost
Just wandering around
I take him and say
She is moments away
There he will find her
Still holding her frozen peas
Not looking behind her
No knowing he found her.
