Into Beautiful

A friend of mine came into town last night so I drove out to his parent's house to visit. I pulled up and his little sister was raking the grass.

"Ask her what she's doing, Eric," my friend's girlfriend told me.

"What are you doing, Emily?" I asked the little girl.

Emily stopped, resting the rake twice her height on her shoulder. She smiled. "I'm turning the grass into beautiful," she said.

I smiled. "Doesn't that make you wish you could write poems?" my friend's girlfriend asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah. I know what you mean."
