A Child's Laughter

I heard a child's laughter
it wavered in the breeze
coming from somewhere in my mind
across a world of seas
T' was like a faintly tinkling bell
so far away it flew
and fluttered like a butterfly
across a sky of blue
I know not where it came from
but as I knelt to pray
I heard my child's laughter
long ago and far away
