The Child She Never Outgrew

He loves her beauty, her intelligence, he loves her kindness too but he also loves her innocence… the child she never outgrew. The child who gives her life its unique perspective her wonderfully innocent point of view. The child who, no matter how old she gets, makes everything seems new. The child who, the other day, stopped right in front of him. to watch with all her concentration… a leaf fall from a limb. The child who sighed as it cascaded down who watched until its tumble was complete. The child whose smile lit up her face as it landed softly at her feet. The child who grinned when he said to her “I don’t know why you’re so enthralled. In all the years we’ve been together you’ve seen an abundance of leaves fall”. “Yes, I’ve seen a lot of leaves fall in this wonderful life we’ve led.” Then reaching down she gently picked it up, “But not this one!” she said. And once again he felt blessed to be in love with someone who’s every moment is brand new and to share in all those moments with the child she never outgrew.
