BEST FRIENDS

romping in the park

when I was young

I used to romp in the park

with my best friend Patty

who lived across the hall

in the same building in New York City

We would bring our scooters along

to ride them in the nearby park

we would ride for hours scooting in between pedestrians

laughing, screaming for joy

careful not to hit anyone

One day, Patty fell off the scooter

she could no longer romp in the park

at once, a young woman came to her aide

she just happened to have a bandage in her pocket

and, a baby under her arm

with that, she was able to place the bandage

on Patty's knee

I felt sorry for Patty

as she had to limp home from the park

scooter in hand

i did the same to make her feel better

after all we were best friends

I love this sweet, sweet story. You are blessed with empathy. Not all are. I had a severe bicycle wreck when a kid, and a similar good Samaritan bandaged me up. I hope that lady with the baby was blessed tenfold.
