I Have a New Friend
I Have a New Friend
I have a new friend.
We've never met.
She chalks art and exercise challenges on the sidewalk.
She leaves the chalk out.
I write and draw my thanks.
Her chalk sticks became a pile of chalk pebbles.
I left a package on her porch --
Highlights magazines and gently used sidewalk chalk.
She left a package on my porch --
coloring pages, crayons and markers, four Cra-Z-Loom bracelets.
And a note.
I have a new friend named Annie.
We've never met.

I hope this is true, Mary Lee. But even if it's not, it warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteI am hugging this story to myself so hard!
ReplyDeleteI am not yet courageous enough to share my "art" in public, but the chalk is sitting next to the door...
