She giggles.
She is happy.
“Dad?”
she says.
“Dad,” she says
again, this
time adding
a tug, “’Cause
I feel so
good now,
If I open my
mouth,
will butterflies
fly out?”
She giggles
bigger now.
“They might,”
I say, “They
might fly
right through
your laughter.”
She tries to
close her mouth.
She can’t.
More laughing
fountains
forth. She
sounds like
gulps of
Spring.
And, like the
season, her
arrival has
brought new
life into
the world.
She is so
excited over
what might
happen
next.
