Earlier today I was reading a book at the park, and I looked
up to see a little girl running straight for the swingset. She had on a pink skirt and a t-shirt with a
rainbow on it, hobbling across the grass as fast as her two tiny legs could
carry her.
She was just marvelous—an innocent miniature human with curly
brown hair that bounced in her pony tail, trying to keep up with the rest of
her little body. All wonder and no
worry. All curiosity and no cares. Just her and the swing.
I smiled as I watched, and decided that when I grow up I
would like to be her.
