Benji

Last night we watched the movie Benji for the first time. During the movie Benji walks down the street sadly, and I watched as Cody turned his back to the television, bowed his head, and shook it with a pouty look on his face. I thought he was just pretending to feel Benji’s sorrow. Then a short moment later Cody began asking me questions about the movie, and then I knew his feelings were sincere as I watched his lips quivering, eyes opened wide so as not to let the tears fall, his voice faltering. It broke my heart. Oh, how tender his heart has become. Such innocence. Such purity. Cody, your heart is full of tenderness and beauty. I wish the world was full of more innocent hearts as yours.
