I heard the laughter of a child:
and upon hearing it, I smiled.
At first, that laugh delighted me;
for it triggered a memory.
And upon hearing it, I smiled:
for it sounded just like my boy,
playing with his favorite toy.
At first, that laugh delighted me,
sounding musical to my ears:
and yet my smile soon turned to tears.
For it triggered a memory
of my son's passing, long ago;
that haunts me wherever I go.
