there are moments
that are so heartbreakingly pure
that i'm pretty sure
my heart
will stop
and i look around
and wonder
how on earth
so much love
can fit into one life?
i bottle up
these moments
and save them
for when i need them most
like yesterday
when my new van broke down
60 miles away from home
and we all had to squish into
a tow truck
with a flatbed on the back,
my broken vehicle
coming along for the ride
but i looked around
at my children sandwiched around me
and my husband sitting next to
the vibrating stick shift
and i just took out my camera
and started taking pictures
and laughing.
and it was enough.
