beauty anywhere

i sat at the back in church this morning.
there was a little girl who sat in the pew in front of me.
little girl of about two and a half feet tall.
pink dress with matching pink and white shoes.
pitch black curly hair that curled around her ears.
eyelashes that curl upwards adorned her smiling black blue eyes.

such a happy kid.
smiling and laughing to herself.
i wasn't so sure what she found so amazing in that place.
but we can only guess what a child perceives.
aunties around her turned and smiled.
nobody was disturbed by her pleasant noise.
she could have reminded them of their own childhood.
times when they wore pretty dresses and shoes.
when they laughed when no one did.
when they made others smile.

her mother kept looking round to see what she was up to.
she hushed her when her laughs went over the acceptable decibel limit.

Hello there. Just found this add bookmarked here on a friend's browser, and I really enjoyed reading every post right from the beginning since I'm left abandoned here. Really good stuff and keep up the good work.
