Kaylee the flower girl, now that has a ring to it. The day was like any other, except Kaylee was given a task to accomplish. Some may find this to be menial, but to her the flower girl is a job that she is proud and excited to do. Words were not shared to explain her happiness, she did not need words. All you needed to see the fire of excitement in her eyes was to look upon her for a second. Her face shined like the moon in the midnight sky, her radiance left others in awe. "Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire- you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away." (Denis Waitley quote.) I feel as though this helps explain that anybody could see her excitement. As I watched her, the face that I have become so accustomed to, changed. This change was that of happiness that others have waged war for, or spent every waking moment trying to find. In this one moment this little girl lived her life for the first time.

This is a very beautiful post. I love the similes you used to describe her emotions and feelings. It gave me a very warm feeling and I imagined it as well. Great use of words.
