Today I was so moved by these eyes... Eyes that showed so many different things... Not good things... Pain, suffering, hunger, sacrifice, no will to live... and that is just to mention a few. He was wet from the rain, probably used to that by now and I'm sure that he has no one at home wondering where he is his, concerned and worried... waiting for him with a towel, a fresh change of clothes and a warm plate with a homemade meal... That's if he even as a home to come to at the end of each miserable day.
This boy should be in school, worrying about homework, tests and how much he hates his teacher, wanting the latest video game... trying to save up from his allowance to buy it because his father is always nagging about how he doesn't appreciate the life he has... He should worry about how much he hates his sister that hogs the shower everyday and makes fun of his goofy hair. How his mom embarrassed him in front of his friends with her hugs and kisses...
We see this everyday and I will be honest, I roll up my window when I see them but these eyes... Oh my God, these eyes... His tears of joy, eternal gratefulness and blessings for me to last 10 lifetimes allowed to realize what I had as a child, what I have today and what I am able to offer my children and the opportunity to show them how blessed they are every single moment of every single day.
