the other day

as i was coming down from the escalator

i saw a boy

a little boy, in the big arms of his dad. it seemed as though he was in the safest place in the whole wide world. his dad was smiling, so was he.

dad was dark-skinned, had unkempt hair and was clad in a blue shirt. the little one, in a floral shirt, so fair and so small. in an instant, one would think that they were a mismatched pair.

then,

the little one, oblivious to the people around him, gave the man

a kiss on the suntanned cheek.

at that moment, the man glowed and gave a little smile.

at that moment, i knew he felt Love. so did i.

and he was the happiest dad in the whole wide world.
