Serendipity

"Serendipity"
A poem by Meghanne Storey

You stood there at the deli
Waiting for your turn
And the boy behind the counter could only see that girl

You said that you were ready
About a million times
He just could not hear you
And you could not read the signs

Something struck him when he saw her
No one else was in that room
It didn't matter that you spoke up
He just didn't see you

Im sorry you got angry
I know you felt unheard
I know you felt like maybe
These young kids just wont learn

But that moment that we witnessed 
Was a blessing to us both
 It was a small reminder
That love makes this life flow…
