He looked in wonder. Or was that look a look of puzzlement?
What he wondered, we all did- who are those eyes that look awfully familiar? 'She is speaking words that i can never understand. But i do know what she is talking about. Its that smile..that smile that they always give me when they see me. But why?'
He looked around. Everyone seemed so old. Sometimes there would be loud noises and the people would not be smiling. Its another expression-its anger he thinks. Sometimes, it will get bad. There will be water in her eyes. What makes that happen?
'I think its a sad thing when people grow old. They think and they talk. But they dont look happy. They dont understand what is it like to be young anymore. They look so...whats the word? Restless. Yes, thats the new word i learnt in class. Its when you dont have something you need. Something like irritated, or unhappy. My english is not good. I should do something about it.
But when they look at me..i see something. Something i dont see when they look at each other.
Maybe its because they like me- but it is a nice feeling. Do people give each other that feeling?
Today i heard 2 old people talking on the train. They are not old like they have white hair. But they just talk so old.
They said these words 'choices', 'life', 'God', and ask many questions. Who and why. They sound very smart but they look...restless(yay i used new word again!). I think they
dont understand too many things. They know alot, alot alot more than small me. But, i think they dont know how to be happy anymore.
Its so easy to be happy. When they carry me and hug me, i am happy.
When they say they love me, i dont know what is love, but i like it, because it comes with a smile that makes me smile, and i am happy.
There's also something special that they do that make me happy. I dont know why.
They will put their palms together, and start saying some words i cannot remember. They will look up, at this person on this two big pieces of wood. It looks painful. But i dunno why, what they say make me happy.'
He looked around..everything looked new.
To
Alvin, Myself and to the millions who are out there facing whatever we are. Its the child in us, who holds all power to grant us the peace we seek. See thru their eyes.
