REFLECTED IN HIS EYES


This old couple was sitting around one evening…
one of those evenings time was moving slow…
when they decided to peruse some photos they’d taken…while playing in the snow.

They were smiling…laughing…enjoying the memories of those moments 
until his heart began to soar…
when he saw something in a photo of himself…he hadn’t seen before.

He paused…then with his fingers on his I-Phone 
enlarged that photo to twice its size…
“Look at this photo! He said to his wife. “Look into my eyes.”

“This is not just a photo of me.” He said 
“Look close…analyze…
Can you see how you are there reflected in my eyes?”

“Oh that’s just your new glasses.” She said with humorous affection.
“From the angle I took the photo…I was caught in their reflection.”

“Oh, I think it’s much more than that.” The old man said
his words catching her by surprise.
“This photo captures how you are always in my heart…
always reflected in my eyes.”

Next he smiled, raised his hands…removed his glasses…and then….
He said, “Just to prove my point…look into my eyes again.”
