Through The Eyes Of A Child
Uncle Matt! Uncle Matt!
Hold down the branch, we need more leaves for the applesauce!
Hold down the branch, we need to get more!
Uncle Matt, Im going to Africa with you.
Do they eat cheetahs there? Hey, then we can go camping!
I'll bring my turtle nightlight, and you bring a map
so we can be prepared. Oh boy! We're going to be prepared!
Uncle Matt(holding back tears)
I don't want you to leave anymore, if you go I'll be sad.
No one understands how I am, they always laugh at me...
...Hey! Hey! Let's go to the park!

Touching ... To be viewed as a hero ... A guiding light to a child you hold dear.

If only each being had a child's heart..so transparently quicksilver, but always tending towards curiosities n innocence. The tears held back..makes me fragile instant, reminds of my own lil one.
the immediate switch in the last line from previous instance works really well.
