It is simply beautiful
putting to bed your daughter, son,
niece, nephew, grandchildren...
or to simply lie down next to
your dear loved one…
to enjoy a quiet dialogue
looking into each other’s eyes
and give a smile here and there

How powerful are those moments
when you feel the other’s heart beating in yours
Love which heals our souls and says so much
about the other

I shared this intimate talk
with a 5 years old child
till a time I disturbed our beautiful silence
with words: “Your eyes are so beautiful...”
Child: “Yes, I know - they are blue like yours.”
His serious, honest answer
made me laugh and I said
“Yes, you are right
but there is something more
about the human eyes
than only a color...”
Even though I had sparked in his eyes
wondering questions ready to be heard
I continued to speak to him with a softer voice
“You will understand it later...
Now, let me kiss you on your forehead,
to wish you good night and always remember
that I love you very much!”
