Something More Grand than the Canyon
The sun
lit up the canyon walls
in rich browns and sepia.
I had been to the Grand Canyon before
with my husband and kids.
We just walked along the paths,
looking, not hiking or exploring
that I would have preferred.
This time wasn’t much different.
Except, we had Vanessa with us.
She can’t walk or talk,
but she can communicate.
What she communicated,
when we wheeled her up
to the lookout spot,
with her wide eyes,
huge smile, her oohs and ahs,
I’ll never forget.
For the honor
of taking her to the canyon,
I felt privileged.
