She crossed over tables
like an athlete, so swift and agile,
noting down orders
on her writing pad in a rush.
Although some of the
customers raised her hackles
considerably,
nothing ever hindered
the curve of her lips.
They stayed upwards,
not once titling downward.
And to a newbie seated at the
coffee shop,
she would've looked like a professional.
But heaven knew better than that.
It was all through circumstances,
for only she and God knew.
Emily was supposed to be at art school
following her passion.
But here she was,
waiting tables;
doing something her heart didn't like.
Nonetheless,
Emily was a loyal daughter.
She knew her mother
had nobody but her
twenty year old daughter now.
And so for her mom, she worked,
every single day,
even if it meant
sacrificing her future.
Because
Emily would've been at art school,
following her passion.
But among all the distracting thoughts
that were running through her mind,
one stood out more than the rest.
And just like before,
she didn't ignore it.
This day would certainly be different.
