Slice of Life | Day 18




In the distance, we could see giraffes grazing.

There was an area where some would go to be fed by the visitors.

It was breath-taking to see them up close.

I touched a giraffe and I cried.

God's creatures are amazing.

  2. I love the line "I touched a giraffe and I cried." I have a picture of one of my daughters feeding a giraffe a carrot out of her mouth. THat might make you laugh instead of cry! Your use of ...'s is really effective in this piece--it kind of brings us along with you. Nice!
