So I was just thinking, and this is totally random by the way, this past Friday before my usual bowling league, while I was leaving from Bounce, this boba place, I’m turning right out from a parking lot and this guy is giving way for me. And I see his little boy in the truck and the little boy is smiling and waving hi at me. That pretty much made my Friday. And yes, it’s as simple as a little kid waving and smiling at me that gets me going. It’s their innocence that makes me smile, because they don’t know anything and they don’t have to worry about anything. There are so many times where I feel I just want to be a child again, not knowing how it feels to take on responsibilities and thinking how to get through life. They don’t know what it feels to get hurt except by having a wound on their leg. The only thing that a child and I have in common is that we both haven’t seen the world yet.
On another note, Lauren, one of my affies, read the poem from my last entry and suggested a poem about love that is found in the Bible, none other than 1 Corinthians 13:4-7:
“Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always preserves.”
This is one of my favorite poems about love. It’s so beautiful. I think it describes love perfectly because that how I feel love should be.
