ON THE RIVERBANK
Working in a bookstore gives me a unique perspective which I never had before.
I get to see the world through the people who come in and out the store.
It’s like I’m on a riverbank…where the ceiling is the sky
and where I get to glimpse at all the people floating by.
I’ve seen every size and shape and color of families…of this I have do doubt
from my spot upon the riverbank…as they flow in and out.
I’ve seen every size and shape and color of couples…on the river…holding hands
and from my spot upon the riverbank I’ve come to understand
how a heart without restrictions is a wonderful sight to see…
How beautiful love is…when the heart has been set free.
I love seeing all the sizes and shapes and colors of families and couples…everywhere I look…
I love how sometimes they wave…
sometimes they talk with me…
and sometimes…they even buy a book!
Which is why I love to sit on the riverbank in the bookstore
looking out on the world I see…
and why I don’t listen to people who want to tell me how the world should be.
I’m perfectly happy here on the riverbank…because from here it’s easy for me to see
the world as it really is…
the world as it was created to be.
