Intoxicating Little Wonderfuls

Its laughing out loud in a silent room when everyone turns to look at you... Its hearing your favorite song for the tenth time, pretending to be Shakira, at the red light. Watching a father with his children throwing them in the air then catching them. When the only fear you knew was how high he'd throw you before he caught you. Intoxicating little wonderfuls. Kittens catching fireflies. Runaway balloons flying high. Tipping of your canoe. Is tipping cows something people really do? When the storm blew the electric and Mom said isn't this the lovliest? Hearing your brother tell your mother she'd done alright. Mom you did good. Mom you did so good and we all cried. These are these are... life is so hard but these are intoxicating little wonderfuls. Laughing out loud in a silent room watching a red runaway balloon...
