Day 3
I've stumbled my way onto Julie and Vicki's blogs and perused the pictures of all the wonderful times with the children and grandchildren; even found a link to Summer Melody which then reminded me of Amber Love and memories of earlier times full of surprise and promise for us all. In the beautiful faces of all those children I see the same promises that filled our young hearts; places of new discoveries to bring new adventures and be new people, new people to befriend and maybe love for a lifetime, sweet innocence that has not been channeled into selfishness but can yet believe in selflessness, caring for one another. Does that fresh smile reflect a heart that will teach us to be better; not apologize for a loving innocence that delights in the world and its people? I cherish that innocence. But, for now its off to my class of 20 somethings, hoping to still see that spark in a face.
