A Childs Laughter

For Ameer

A boy’s laughter 
Rolled off his tongue
And created butterflies 
Within my soul

I imagined his little feet 
Running bare across 
The plush carpet
His toes gripping the threads

A boy’s laughter
Sent a shock through my spine tonight
His chuckle a glorious sound wave

Crashing against the shore 
Pummeling toward my heart
With his innocence
With his laughter that he can’t stop

A Child’s Laughter
Saved my Soul
