JOY WITHOUT A NAME

I JUST WATCHED THE THREE OF THEM GO down the jeepney without me moving a nerve but my eyes following them. Instinct told me to look out the vehicle so I effortfully leaned forward and, much to my surprise, they were looking back at me. I waved at them and, seemingly ready, they waved back. I was overwhelmed with joy made obvious by a smile that wouldn’t leave my face minutes after. I still feel myself brightening up when I remember that moment. What nameless joy children bring me!
