Leaning against the wall,
sitting on the floor,
with a book in her lap,
she’d never read before.
She sat Indian style,
hair falling in her eyes,
ignoring distant chatter
of teenage girls & guys.
She wasn’t like the rest
at the age of seventeen,
wearing cool clothes,
and in the fashion scene.
And as the sun was fading,
into a distant - - quiet sky,
a young man walked up,
acting kind of shy.
He sat down beside her,
with a little apprehension,
and asked about the book
capturing her attention.
She looked at him & smiled,
much to his surprise ...
as she whispered “The Bible”,
and pushed the hair from her eyes.
