All We Need Is Love

---

This husband and I…

Spotted something on the side of the road…waiting for garbage day or neighborhood pickers…wooden…in parts…an antique for sure…

Piqued an old man’s curiosity…drove around the block again…got out of the car for a closer look…

When what to our wondering eyes should we see…Pumpkin…our sweet little furry friend Pumpkin…resting in the shade…under a car in a nearby driveway…

Pumpkin…who sauntered over and leapt on a porch…Pumpkin…who walked to another ginger cat and did a little head rub…Pumpkin…who jumped on a chair and curled up in the sun…

And in that moment two old hearts warmed…Pumpkin…has a home…Pumpkin…will be ok while we are gone…Pumpkin…will be waiting for us when we get back…

Just like this table…this broken-down-ready-for-the-junk table now in the garage…a project for an old man…all it needs is love…he says…

Just like two old folks and that best friend of theirs named Pumpkin…all they need…is love…
​
And Pumpkin…would agree…
