Crosswalk

Well lights, You never fail me.
I have my main errand.
Sometimes two.
Maybe three to four secondary ones.
Not pressing at the moment.
But if I happen to walk by.
May as well.

So I put my faith in you.
You take me on the route I need to go.
Kindly taking me down the quieter streets.
Keeping in mind my needs and energy.
Carefully avoiding noise.
Minimizing exposure to prevent anxiety.

You took me past one of my minor errands.
Unavoidable.
But you made me cross to the other side.
I thought you were being silly.
I almost crossed back.
There was a crosswalk ahead.
But I trust you lights.
I thought you must have a reason.
And you did.
I wasn't sure what it was then.
Thirty minutes later I discovered why.

Thank you lights.
That moment made me smile.
