Miss Emmas Invisible Market
She loved Miss Emma’s market
she shopped there every day
No need for the red arrow
on the sign along the way
The incense of the spices
would guide her every move
They’d scent the air with perfume
of which she did approve
Though just a tiny garage
hidden, tucked away from view
Miss Emma’s was her favorite
little secret rendezvous
The irony, being hidden,
is that she had lost her sight
For her, Miss Emma’s market
was a beacon in the night
Invisible to Mary
Yet real in every sense
The little market meant so much
Its impact was immense
Miss Emma was the first one
To help her find her way
Not just with fragrant spices
but by kindness, every day
