I was on a jog
In the middle of July
Following a trail that runs along a river
And as I was jogging through a park
I saw an elderly couple
With a tiny foldable table
And two cups of mcdonalds coffee
Sitting under a little tree
With just enough shade
To cover them and the table
I stopped for a second
And stared at them
They were so happy
With their little table
Their little shade
And the mcdonalds coffee
It reminded me how happy
The tiniest things can be
With the right person
Regardless of age
Or
Time spent together
There is something so beautiful
About elderly couples
And their love for each other
That has survived decades
Seeing them
Brings me
A little
Hope.
-C.H.
