Hopelessly in love


Young children are so sweet.  They are loving and forgiving, accepting and seem to see right through any facades or shams to the person underneath.

These are qualities many adults like to think they have, or want to project out into the world.  It is innocence and youthfulness at its best, but it is rare in people over the age of eight and maybe even younger.

A good actor might pull this off for a while, but mostly it is not something that can be faked.  It’s either there, or its not.  Adults who have it are sometimes mistakenly thought of as slow, or not quite all there, but it can be found in even the brightest among us.

It is just plain goodness and I don’t know who it blesses more, the giver or the receiver.  All I know is that when I meet someone who has it, they steal my heart away and I am hopelessly in love with them forever more.
