Reassurance

Reassurance

as he

rolled his buggy

down the aisle

past row after row after row

of empty shelves

he kept patting

his baby boy

on the leg

telling him

over and over

“it’s gonna be ok …

don’t worry

it’s gonna be ok …

we’re gonna be ok …”

 his baby

wearing his blue footie pajamas

in the early morning hour

just looked up at him

and kept smiling

swinging his footie feet

in the air
