Shopping at Safeway

Just getting,
A few items,
Arugula,
Tomatoes,
Crackers,
Peanut butter,
A couple,
Frozen things,
Now he’s,
Cruising through,
Beer,
And there’s,
This cute,
Family,
Browsing for,
Beer too,
Mainly,
The father,
Though,
His wife,
Seems to have,
Opinions,
About beer,
And the,
Little girl,
Mostly walking,
Around,
In circles,
She’s probably,
About five,
A fun,
Age,
And he’s,
Looking around,
To see,
What he,
Might want,
But he,
Can’t help,
Overhearing,
This cute,
Family,
Partly because,
They are,
A bit,
Loud,
And then,
He decides,
To grab,
A six pack,
Of Dale’s,
Pale Ale,
And then,
His mind,
Goes,
Elsewhere,
Back to,
A previous life,
Those early days,
When,
The two,
Of them,
Were,
In,
Brevard,
And they,
Were walking,
To,
The,
Oskar Blues,
Brewery,
To the,
Dale’s,
Headquarters,
And they,
Were,
Holding hands,
And a couple,
Guys,
Were walking,
In the,
Other direction,
And when,
They got close,
One of the guys,
Smiled at,
The two,
Of them,
That couple,
Holding hands,
And,
The guy,
Said,
Wow,
You two,
Look really,
Happy,
And as,
He,
Picks up,
His basket,
And heads,
Towards the,
Front of,
The store,
To pay,
He knows,
That those,
Early days,
In Brevard,
Are still,
Hard to,
Forget,
Because,
The scars,
That form,
On,
The heart,
Change things,
Forever.

Rescue Dog

London is,
A,
Rescue dog,
He,
Rescued her,
He,
Adopted her,
His,
Dear,
Little London,
But,
Four,
Years,
On,
He’s,
Quite,
Certain,
That London,
Wasn’t,
The only one,
Being rescued,
That day.
