I Got You, Amma

We sauntered slowly along the sidewalk listening to the train horn, watching airplanes and counting pick up trucks. “I got you , Amma” , the sudden yell brought me back to the world. He clung to my leg , lifted it slowly and put it down as if he were teaching me to walk. “There, all done.”, he exclaimed proudly. It took me a second to figure out what was going on. I tripped on the uneven pavement yesterday. I didn’t fall and I thanked him for holding onto my hand. He was saving me from another stumble. Gracias mi amigo.   Thanks for rescuing me.
