SUNLIGHT PARTICLES : 

SUNLIGHT PARTICLES ByLinda J. Hutchinson

Slide 2: 

One morning from a doorway I felt a forgotten joy as I watched a small child at play.

Slide 3: 

She was sitting by a window reaching out trying to catch particles in a sunshine ray.

Slide 4: 

When she rose she began to twirl scattering the sunshine particles with glee,

Slide 5: 

She made believe they were twinkling stars falling down fast and free.

Slide 6: 

She talked to herself as she caught her treasures and she put them in her pocket,

Slide 7: 

As she reached out again she whispered, this special star I will keep in my locket.

Slide 8: 

She saw me watching her and she smiled, but kept on spinning, scattering particles in the wind.

Slide 9: 

I smiled back at her and left quickly. She was so cute and funny, reaching out for stars in her world of pretend.

Slide 10: 

From there I went to see a dear old friend she too was sitting by a window with particles streaming,

Slide 11: 

She was reaching out trying to catch them in the rays of sunshine that were beaming.

Slide 12: 

In her own world she sang and talked to herself as she reached out into the sunshine rays.

Slide 13: 

As I spoke to her she did not see nor hear me, her face was set with a transfixed gaze

Slide 14: 

As I watched her it was not cute nor  funny, it seemed as if she had aged too quickly and now her mind was gone.

Slide 15: 

But as I thought back to the little girl playing , just maybe I could be partly wrong.

Slide 16: 

As we go through childhood, most of the things we remember are family, gifts, joy and pleasure.

Slide 17: 

As we get older, a friend or loved one may lock away their memories of life’s secrets and treasure.

Slide 18: 

Tears ran down my face and I ached with sadness for my dear friend as I watched her childlike play.

Slide 19: 

I prayed that in her mind she too had kept a locket filled with particle stars, to remember again one day.

Slide 20: 

Had she been happy or sad. what had caused her pain that closed her mind. Now childlike she sits in humiliation.

Slide 21: 

With love, we need to reach out to others, the childlike ones too; as we are all particles of Gods creation.
