Serendipitous Heart (Leaf)

the other day as I was walking through my kitchen

I noticed a leaf on the floor.

I bent down to pick it up and was 

stopped short by what I saw.

the leaf dry and brown,

was shaped like a perfect heart!

it seemed serendipitous to me.

a gift from God.

an unexpected lift for my spirit.

I laid it gently on my sewing table until

I could grab my camera and get a shot.

the next day I saw my daughter poking at it.

I told her what had happened, and 

to please be careful as I wanted to

get a picture of it.

later as I sat working (well playing)

at my computer, my son came in

and started talking with me.

I had my back to him.

I turned around to respond to something

he had said, and that's when I 

saw it.

he had a pair of scissors in his hand 

and was randomly cutting something

into little pieces.

oh yes it was my little miracle gift

from God! 

snip, snip, snip

and it was gone.

when I told him what he had done

he was truly apologetic.

his friend said, "I wondered what that

was there for. I broke a piece of it off."

so here's my picture of my serendipitous

heart-leaf

wish you could have seen it.

I did and it made my day.
