I hope I will always remember
Your laugh
As we played together on sunlit floor.
I stacked and you smashed.
Your laughter unforced, unblemished
Was an invitation to let my heart go unguarded.
Since you were born I’ve known a trembling kind of love
Then, me crying with laughter we share a simple joke
An ambushed heart giving way to some ordinary healing
Peels of glee, a real purity
