"What Are You Looking At?"

Everything that I love about you, I have loved long before I found it in you.
The smile on a little girl's face as she reaches up for her daddy who is going to give her an ice cream cone.
The love of this kind of father, who will later willingly give her the biggest hug even though she is wearing it.
A morning that you don't remember what day it is, but the sky is so blue it hurts your eyes.
That moment when the candles are all lit and the choir starts to sing "Silent Night."
The kitten who makes an appearance, but is just as quickly back under the couch...but you know where he is.
The kids who run to grandma like they know what a treasure she is, and you didn't have to worry they would be bored.
The man who stops and says, "Not to worry, we'll have that flat tire fixed in a jiffy."
A disarming apology from someone who almost wasn't wrong.
That first Spring day.
I know you have been watching these things. You don't give it much thought, but as you looked at these things they have been creating the beautiful person you are.
How can I tell you that when I look at you now I see more beauty than all of them combined?
Yes I know you, yes I love you, but there is nothing new here. The only thing new is that I've found you.
I'm sorry, what was the question?
