She walks to the store exhausted her hair a mess

holding on to her baby and her other two children following behind.

The crying of the children makes the other people

stare and point and whisper.

No one knows her story

but decides to judge.

It doesn’t matter she just came from her full-time job

and forgot to get some things from the store for dinner.

As she goes to the register and holds in her tears

She is able to gather a smile

when she hears the sound of her children’s laughter.

Though it has been a long week

She walks out the door happy with her groceries in her cart

holding onto her baby and her other two children following behind.

She stops for a moment to look back at a person staring,

“You have a great day I know I will.”
