li

a lily for lily

today at church i met a young woman and we were chatting

when a beautiful little girl came up and the mom said,

meet my daughter lily

i was impressed with her open smile

her confidence 

and candidness

and she looked to be only around 8 years old

i told her that i love lilies.

that i think maybe
they are one of the most beautiful flowers

ever.

when i asked her if she knew what  a lily looked like she shook her head no

what a shame

so today i went out and found a picture

of a lily for lily.

both of them are beautiful

isn't it wonderful to think that hours later

after meeting someone that i am still thinking about her

i wonder what impact we have to those we meet.

i hope the memory lingers in a loving and positive way

and they find themselves fondly thinking of us.

and maybe smiling

or even taking a photo to remember us by.

imagine...
