A realization dawned on me today that I can’t help but share. I posses the most precious thing on the planet – ‘my touch’. This may sound conceited but after today I’ve started believing in it.
As a child I felt Superman was every kid’s hero and that a carnival was every kid’s big dream. Today, as I waited for these 14 little ones at a Christmas carnival, I couldn’t help but wonder how excited they would be to get there.
There was a gleam in their eyes, and excited they were, but not because they were at the carnival … it was because I was there, waiting for them. It was like a waterfall emerging from a cramped vehicle and engulfing me … the Superman t-shirt on me seemed so real. There were at least 14 people in this world who believed that!
Youngistaan for helping me find the ‘superhero’ in me.
