Pure Love

Categories: Grandchildren

Why does my small grandson bring me such joy?
How does he fill me with hope?
Because his love is unconditional.
In his innocence he does not judge me.
He always accepts me as I am.
The radiance of his face and beaming smile are never fake.
His whole, small body emanates pleasure when he sees me.
His love is not made up but is totally real flowing from a pure heart.
At his young age he has not been tainted by cynicism or distrust.
He gives of himself sacrificially in a humble way with no realisation of his giving.

I am so grateful for his exuberant zest for life.
I pray God will restore in me that pure, unjudgmental love and the joy of life of a small child.
