Notes About The Poem

Giggling and Grinning

There was a priceless moment
When he smiled openly, innocent
To the careful way I’d held him to my heart
As he laced a path across my soul
Notching out breaths of hope and joy
Serrating hollows of serenity and faith
Feelings flowing through my crimson veins
In whispers of laughing pleasure 
Songs of winds shifted through my hair
Beckoning my thoughts with grace
Painting vibrant flames of wisdom across
My life, where he giggled and grinned
Caressing my spirit with the love
Only a babe in arms could have given
