'myriad'

That drumming sound of emptiness Let it drift off Replaced by laughter like that of a child May your feet become flighty Like the olden days May every step you take Catapult you Into nuances of no fear Into places where all You see are smiling faces Not because everything is going well But because they all know That in all the bad that is around They still have a myriad of things To smile and laugh about

wonderful message, Wilma. We all need to be this way. If we could but be our child selves, how beautiful would be our lives.
