The Child's Laughter



Why here's a sudden torrent of joy

spouting from a toddler boy,

an eruption of laughter spontaneous

provoked by his cousin's zaniness!

Where in heaven's name could it come from?



It's as if this untrained burst of mirth

hath bursted from some reservoir beneath the earth

maybe from some fountain of amusement so vast

that its flood comes sloshing so fast!



There must be some great ocean of mirth

that preceded the boy's recent birth

a love from which his joy suddenly rises

like in a carnival of silly prizes.



Evidence it is, I think, of some vast wellbeing unseen,

as if it's spurting from a divine dream!

This bright shower of silly serendipity

must be a substance of the happiness we hope will be,

and now we suddenly see.

Yes! now so joyously we hear

a perfect laughter that casts out all fear.


Glass half-Full
