Notes About The Poem

Loveliness

Listening to the laughter

Of babies and little children is

Virtually acoustic loveliness

Entirely in its purest form.

Laughter, real from-the-gut laughter,

Is an antidote to all

Negativity. Without

Exception, it stimulates a feeling of 

Serenity. I find myself also

Smiling. This gift is contagious and free.
