Innocence

Posted by Kim on Tuesday Mar 23, 2010 Under Uncategorized

The world is new for you. Everything is amazing and you find splendor in the simplest details of life. You explore. You sample. You soak it all up.


Through your eyes I see the world in a new way. A fresh way. And innocence is reborn. Laughter replaces worry. Songs replace stress. Because of you, my days are magical. Because of you, my days are meaningful.

You humble me with your look and your laugh. I can’t quite explain it, but I’m so overwhelmed by this love I have for you that I find myself smiling whenever I’m around you. Fun follows and I let you lead. Priorities are in check and finally…moments are big. Moments are our life.

No matter the day I’ve had, no matter the problems life throws our way, it completely dissolves when I’m home with you. I’m confused how someone like me…someone so flawed. So screwed up. Could create someone so perfect. It doesn’t seem possible. You deserve so much more than me. You reach for me and my heart melts. You hold on to me with your soft little hands and I die. I must have done something right in my life.

I want to slow down. Life rushes by and I want to be like you and soak it all up. Your innocence is my lesson. I want to put aside all the junk that consumes my time, my mind, and ultimately my days and I want to just make you smile. I want to play. I want to hear your giggle. I want to do whatever you want to do. I want your days to be wondrous days, then I will know I’ve succeeded. I want no regrets. No thinking, “I wish I had.” No saying, “Tomorrow.” How we spend our days, is how we live our lives. And you, my dear, are my days and my life.
