The blanket

The day is 75

and no humidity.

The sun is out,

no clouds in

the sky. 

I walk 

with a backpack

and a blanket.

I find the

right spot.

under some trees.

I lay the

blanket down

and get everything 

in its place.

my shoes off.

As I lay down on

my back,

I think to myself...

How lucky I am.

Blessed.

People pass by

and smile.

Some say Hello.

Dogs, strollers.

Life and families

pass by me.

Some happy, 

some lonely.

As a lady walks

by, she is struggling

with 5 dogs. 

She stops in front

of me.

I smile.

Wow, she replies.

You have the most 

amazing smile.

I think for a 

moment and am

a bit taken back, 

but quickly

say, Thank You.

She smiles and

keeps walking.

About 5 min.

later a man jogging

by, smiles

I smile back.

he circles back and

says..

I am sorry if this seems

strange, but 

you sitting

on that blanket,

under the trees,

with the sun

and that smile,

You look perfect.

I smile and say.

Thanks, Its the blanket.

he jogs away and

says, I need that blanket!

I laugh.

I yell out..

Its magic!

and under my breath I 

whisper, God is magic.
