Fountain of Youth
The sprinkler snaps into action, ssh-sshushing as screams of joy fill the hot air. Four children run through, around and under the falling water. Rainbow reflections in its mist decorate the baby blue and lilac scented sky. She could see their pink skin and freckles from the kitchen window. They each in turn looked her way to smile, wave and then continue in their playful carefree dance of youth. The old woman could see it as if it were happening right now in this instance in this very heartbeat.
