A poem

This is a poem I wrote when I was in college.

Laughter

Known only to those
whose heart smiles,
the hand of the soul
reaching to grab moments
beautiful to God.

It's the wish
in a child's eye,
hidden by tears of apprehension.
When they dry,
only silence can disturb it.
It's the dance of a comet,
leaving a trail of smiles,
softening even the hardest of faces.

It's the only medicine
we take for granted.
