ECHOES OF LAUGHTER  GD 2005

How many eyes have seen this sunset
Felt the wind against their face
How many blades of grass have grown and withered
on the land in this place
How many hands have picked bloomed flowers
and smelled their rosy dew
How many kisses and stolen moments
have been hidden by the moonlights bluish hue
how many pictures have been taken
paintings stroked...sketches made
How many lazy summer afternoons
spent lying in the shade
How many leaves have changed colors
How many times have seasons changed
How many tears, music notes and laughter
have filled this now silent air
How many dreams and prayers have been answered
How many have come and gone where?
Rhetorical questions
Infinite numbers
Echoes of laughter...in God's wonder
