The Sigh of my Egyptian Shopkeeper

Each time this so friendly man
Always asking how I am

Peacefully bringing grandkids
From the school door to their house

Looks so shaky and aghast
Avoiding my searching eyes

Heaving a sigh of relief
When I hold his trembling hand

My Egyptian shopkeeper
Proud that his Dutch gets better

When a fellow believer
Derailed and took to murder
