As A Child

As a child I grew to value and nurture the essence of love. 

He looked into her eyes and kissed her wrinkly forehead. 

I sighed. 

65 years of marriage and many more came their way. 

I looked up to my grandparents, and smiled. 

Nurtured by love, fourteen children followed. 

As years passed, 

I looked into his eyes and smiled. 

Those big brown eyes starred back at mine. 

I found someone who looked and valued me just like my grandpa once looked at my grandma. 

Love is beautiful, cherish it, value it until your last breath.
