An encounter
Dull, boring wait for the children
iPad games, in and out
Hurting eyes
Guilt of wasting time
Doing nothing, achieving nothing.
A listless trip to the washroom
Swishing past the lady having fun,
The lady looking good.
Then
Behind her a voice exclaims, "S......!"
The tired feet stops
The tired head turns
The tired brain wakes to curiosity.
The curious eyes widen, widen wider
To full astonishment and recognition
9 years since and 9 years back.
She smiles, she exclaims
She laughs after a long time
She shakes her head
She hugs.
Life before life
Laughter before laugh
Tears and joys
Pride and utility
Self esteem and worthiness
Achievement and friendships
Carefree life
Swishes round and round in her head
A dizzy talk and a dizzy good bye.
with
A promise to meet, an alert mind
and a beautiful smile.

Well written, Poetess! Being able to translate the emotions into words without loss of their intensity is a great skill!
