Smaller than a moment

Even smaller than a moment
Seconds...
That served as a reminder
The significance of small moments.

She was temporarily lost in a daze, 
Patiently waiting.
Handing the lunch bag over the table
She straightened, 
reached
 and 
smiled. 
A smile that can not be easily described, 
Yet a smile that left an imprint. 
Eyes reflecting joy.
Yes! 
Time to eat.
Yes! 

A switch, 
A reminder,
To be fed with small moments of joy.


I was on lunch duty and the student's reaction to receiving her hot lunch had me pause and think how grateful I am to be there.  I witnessed pure joy.
