Laughter

The
Sweetest
Symphony
Children’s voices
Giggling
Telling stories
Excitedly interrupting
Wishing to share with
Greatest
Joy
Teenage confusion
Forgotten
For bright, shining
Moments
Engraved in the
Memory
As sparkling
Smiles
Happiness blushed
Cheeks
To the background
Music of
Innocent
Unrestrained
Laughter


Ken Goree


Some moments are meant to be savored, and remembered, long after childhood has left us.  These images are recalled anew, when each following generation conjures again the magic we had let diminish and fade.  Tonight, the gift that never wears beyond value was shared with me again.  Thank you.  And thank you also, for not spraying me with the whipped cream.
