She Was Innocent And Pure. A Child Of The Sun.

The day that the earth gave birth to her was a special day. The birds were singing and the sun was radiant. Almost summer. Days getting longer. Butterflies flying around on their first mission of the season. Spreading their Wings with gentle care. Not worrying about results, just being their best version. A beautiful mother and a handsome father smiled at each other and were holding each other's hands. A matter of time and their daughter would see the light. The clock ticked. Slowly. In the background. The young parents did not realize it. They were living. Now. The sun could not hide its excitement. It felt an instant bond with the child to come.

The scene was preparing itself. No details forgotten. Suddenly a baby expressed its first sounds. 'Welcome in heaven', the mother whispered with love. The father touched his daughter's skin. Softer than a feather. He cried for joy. An immediate feeling of accountability and unconditional love overwhelmed him. Tears in his eyes. The mother witnessed the change in her partner and smiled gently for such beauty. The eyes of her partner said it all. No words needed. He held her close to his heart. A tiny seed was planted in both their hearts and started to grow from there. Invisible for the world outside. Protected within. As a true treasure to behold.

The sun recognised its child and sent magical rays to bless the baby. The baby felt the warmth and stretched its arms and legs. A cute smile appeared. The mother thanked God for her little miracle. Her dream came true. They became parents and loved their little sweetheart. There was something special about her. They did not know it yet. She did fine. Was not a burdon to her parents. The days became weeks. Weeks turned into months. Months exchanged their time for years. Decades followed. Since her day of birth magic was added to the lives of everyone involved. With eyes of innocence and pureness she looked at the world around her. With human curiosity.

The little girl played a lot outside. Nature was where she felt home. One day she found something extraordinary in the trees not far from her house. It was a golden leaf. With her natural enthusiasm she arrived back home. Her parents were working outside in the garden. Planting more flowers while exchanging loving thoughts. Their girl had clearly found something rare. They could tell it in the way she was behaving. They knew their angel so well. The sun already understood the meaning of the golden leaf. Secretly the sun was behind it all. A gift for the bond that they had for so long. A present given from the heart.

The golden leaf was placed on the fence. The girl looked at it with big eyes. The parents came closer. On demand. They could not yet see the blessing behind it all. The girl did not give up so soon and was certain that she would find out the truth. A booklet appeared in the air. With some context. Brought by a white bird. Innocence could grab it with her fine hands. Then she understood what it was all about. The words left the booklet and danced around her heart. A source of golden coins was expected. From all directions. To make their dreams come true. All of their dreams. One by one. Innocence was thrilled. She knew directly who she was going to make happy with it. The golden leaf had an extra message for her as well. 

'Love yourself first and everything else will fall into place', it said. Innocence knew this since the day that she was born. The sun had whispered it in her beautiful ears. She never had forgotten that. Since her first day on earth. She promised the golden leaf to remind all others of that special message. Each time they received a present from her. The little girl looked up to the sun and the sun was aware that her parents would be the first to get a huge present from their beloved sparkle of love. Their biggest dream was to go on a sailing holiday with their family. They worked hard all their lives. To Ensure that their daughter had everything she needed to be happy. Now the daughter wanted to do something back. As soon as the daughter had put the thoughts in her mind and heart, the boat started to move.

And so it happened. The scene was built from scratch. The family enjoyed their moments together with sweet joy. The water played with their feet. Courageous waves showed the example to little ones. The Dolphins danced among the waves. The sun reflected its beauty in the water. The sky was blue. Innocence smiled from top till toe. The mermaids looked from a distance to the magnificent scenes. They only wished they could be human for one day to celebrate together. The unexpected occured. The boat was big enough. If you look carefully - while sailing on the most loving ocean - you still can see Innocence and her family and friends. Treasured by the sun.
