God bless the
car salesman with braces
that wanted to make
my acquaintance
God bless the black woman
at the gas station who
asked skeptically for ID
said I didn’t even look 20
God bless the young clerk
that smirked when I asked
for a jazz flavored black & mild
he reminded me of you
Embarrassing to admit how much
all this smoothed my ruffled ego
now I collect small things
like these to get me through
Protect the Innocent 
No embarrassment there! Those really ARE the good things in life!

Truly something so small can make a persons day. It was a good reminder of that as well.

The big moments are truly hollow. It’s these that contain the true substance of joy we reach for in those.

I don’t think that’s embarrassing. Also, you’re still young.
