Watching
I watch his face and see the most joy and love a body could possess.
I watch his face as he gazes lovingly down at his newborn son cradled in his arms.
I watch him as he pauses to lovingly stroke his tired wife's cheek.
I watch him and wonder what it would be like to love someone so deeply, that life without that person would be no real life at all, but merely a haunted and shadowed existence.
I watch him turn his eyes back to his child and speak softly to him.
I watch him and I wonder what it would be like to have a little one of my own to hold and love.
I watch as the King of Gondor looks down at his boy with such complete love and tenderness, and I feel a sense of loss, sent to those who feel they have missed out on some important part of life.
I watch, and despite that sense of loss, I also feel great joy as I watch my gwador rock his child back and forth.
I watch him as he turns to me, smiling brightly, and I give him one in return, forcing myself to thrust all unhappy thoughts from my mind.
I watch, and I wonder.
