the seemingly trivial moments...

As i went my way i noticed a young boy gently pull a little girl to the side to tie her shoelaces that had come undone,
to me it was a beautiful moment so i smiled as i passed,
that moment to them two would have been a trivial one,
but to the ones who passed by it was one to smile about,
the love portrayed by a young boy who kneels down to tie an even younger girl's shoe laces,
i couldn't help but think he knew if he left the shoe laces undone the little girl would trip over them and fall,
he was merely looking out for someone he loved to protect them from potential danger,

if we paid attention to the moments that seem trivial we would realise that life is nothing short of beautiful,
moments like a man who sees his wife coming towards him and he walks the other way and they both laugh about it,
or when someone says words like "You're not just a pretty face after all",
or someone randomly walking up to and says "You're beautiful",
or even just that random "you're beautiful" in the middle of a conversation,
or asking your dad "do i look nice?" and he answers "you always look nice"
or the bank teller that remembers how to spell your seemingly complicated name,
or a person that goes out of their way to say "you look nice",
or one of my favourites when a random stranger says "smile, it can't be that bad"

Life is beautiful if we choose to see
