the little boy and the old man

today was the happiest i have been in a long time. just thinking about it makes my eyes tear up. i am so thankful for so many things. i am so blessed. we went to church (twice for me!), we got two more fish, dinner, and we watched a movie with family. and though my day might sound simple, it was elegantly splended.

Said the old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
"I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.
