Small Way

The old woman walks 
With such stiffness and care
But for Gods' loving graces
That could be me there

She is tenderly holding
A small dress of lace
And a bright shining look
Does her creases erase

I have lots of things 
Gathered up in my cart
When I said"go before me"
It gave her a start

She turned and she thanked me
Then beamed out a smile
Once again all was well
In this world for awhile

This is a really nicely written piece. An ordinary moment in the day put to such lovely rhyme. :)
