My eyes were closed, a terrible lumming glumming darkness was all I saw. I knew I was alone,could feel I was alone becouse darkness is a quiet solitude. I was cold-not deathly cold but I would shiver. How I longed to open my eyes, my heart and see how to feel the warmth of love. To be truly happy,to see the day smile at me becouse I smiled first. Then it happened, it finally happened and with the innocence of a baby taking its first breath and the greediness of a child with candy, I took it all in. You took my hand gently and made me open my eyes. At first they wouldn't open but you, with such patience, gave me love and made me trust, believe. Then I saw them everywhere, beautiful wildflowers, and the day so bright. You are amazing, you gave me the most beautiful gift of all, a field of love.
