Trusting His Smile

it was a bright pretty happy day
Joy had always been excited about life
she was from a small town
seventeen years old, in her happy element

She was from the kind of a town where people take care of each other
her bicycle chain broke on a country road
a nice-looking man in a blue pickup truck smiled at her
He turned his truck around to help

Offered to take her to town to fix it
Lifted the bike into his truck, showing his kindness
Joy trusted his smile
she was never seen again

And the horrific tragedy no one wants to imagine. One time I ran out of gas and a man picked me up. I immediately thought about how stupid it was. Thankfully he dropped me off at work! Hugs
