Once there was a girl named Carla and she liked a boy named Tim. Tim would sing "You are so beautiful to me" everyday to her. She liked it so much. She'd tell her girlfriends and they would swoon. Carla and Tim would chase each other around the playground and then one day, Tim said he didn't want to play anymore. Maybe he meant it or maybe he didn't. Either way, she did not like it, ran away and didn't look back although she kind of wanted to. She didn't listen to the song "You are so beautiful to me" much since then.
Then there was a girl named Emma and she liked a boy named Jim. Jim was from England and had the most eye catching hats. They'd chase each other around the playground. She'd take his hat from him, put it on her head and flaunt it around. Then Jim, said he'd rather give Rachel his hats to play with. She did not like that and ran away as well although she kind of wanted to stay and play with his hat some more. She didn't touch a hat much since then.
Carla and Emma met up one day, they shared ice cream and their playground romances, appalled yet grateful they were in similar states of pain and heartache as much pain and heartache kids go through at that time in their lives. Love and life does this sometimes. No matter where you are in life, someone has been there and what a beautiful thing it is to have someone to have story time and carpet squares with. It lets us laugh for a little bit.
Life is rough sometimes and answers are few but there will always be carpet squares for us to break away and rest our little weary hearts.
Love,
C
