    A Parent's Joy

    The parent's greatest source of joy
    may be the laughter of a child.
    The giggley coo's of an infant
    learning to play peek-a-boo;
    The cackley silliness of
    a young child tickled and tossed;
    The gurgley guffaws of
    a young teen getting and playing jokes;
    The open-mouthed joyful smiles
    of young people at play with their siblings;
    And the parent's greatest source of joy
    may be laughter born from a child.

    it takes me back to them wounderful times of my life with my children up tell now the teenage years. thank you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
