Greater Truth

by

Paul E Sexton

My almost
two year old son
and I
are walking through
a parking lot.
He points
excitedly at
a silver Honda Civic.

"Mommy car!"
"Mommy car!"
he insists,
with a huge smile on his face.

"No buddy"
I reply,
that’s not mommy’s car,"
only a car with
a similar make, model, and color."

He stares blankly
into my eyes
for several
long silent moments
without moving
until I,
unable to bear the silence
a moment longer,
say;
"Mommy’s car!"
"Mommy’s car!"
while pointing at
the doppleganger.

Resuming
his glowing smile,
gleeful disposition
having returned,
he trots ahead
mumbling
satisfied
victorious.

I suppose that
at various times
in our lives
we ALL
have greater truths
that we
are not yet ready
to comprehend
