Five minute friend

Little Kabir made friends with me wordlessly. We sat across a glass wall, me outside the cakery and he inside. More than 30 years separated us, And I couldn't fathom why I had caught his fancy !
We sat surrounded by a world which was busy chatting, walking, eating, reading...While we made hand gestures to each other through the glass wall.
In those five minutes, we smiled, we laughed, we frowned as we tried to lip read. In those five minutes I got more attention than I would get these days from adults lost in their mobile phones.
Little kabir continually gestured for me to join him inside while I kept calling him outside. Finally I walked up at him to know his name and wish him the best. As I said bye bye to this 'five minute five year old' friend, I thanked God. In the morning I had prayed for love and happiness, and in five minutes this little angel had given me both.
Stay happy where ever you are, lil' one❤️
