You took the stress out of her travel, she said
30 hours from India
You reached for her hand
Held her thumb
Smiled
You don’t have recognizable words
You gave her all you could without even knowing it
Innocently, she said
She brushed the hair off your face
You didn’t flinch
You let her
You welcomed her, unaware, to your world
Showing her the kingdom of Heaven that only ones like you can
