Forgotten Sorrow

Laughter hides in the strangest of places. I laughed when she spoke, the sun's rays kissing her Beautiful smiling, the lilt in her eyes Betrayed promises of many tomorrows. It's no secret that our life's been hard-- NO-- A betrayal of modest happiness. And yet, I found joy. Laughter whilst walking, Joyful moments of tender lovesickness. I forgot sorrow, and laughed at clowns, Awed at acrobats, and, entranced I watched Fish and sharks, colors shimmering behind Glass walled cages, swimming. It was a day spent More of emotion than of my wallet. My wife squeezed my hand, reminding me, “Love.” I forgot sorrow, anxiety, and… What was I saying?
