WHEN HE LAUGHS (A tribute to P)
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


When he laughs
It brings back memories of carefree childhood days
When the world was seen through innocence and light
When it basked with spring-like perfection
When playing hopscotch and watching Six Million Dollar Man
were the most important things in the world
When everything was answered with a yes or no, and not middle ground

When he laughs
A soft glow encircles my heart
And memories of loving hugs and unshed tears of joy wrap around it

When he laughs
The whole world belongs to us again.





WHEN SHE LAUGHS (A tribute to S)

When she laughs
The light of a thousand prisms gleams in her eyes

When she laughs
Love floats through the air like fairy dust
Coaxing smiles from everyone

When she laughs
The world rises anew
Becoming clean again

When she laughs
I laugh too.




WHEN HE LAUGHS TOO (A tribute to C)
Archive Date:  7/10/2000


When he laughs
His brown eyes drench with glee
open and honest, for everyone to see

When he laughs
The sound permeates the air for miles
And suddenly, the world’s all smiles

When he laughs
It is total, Zen-like
Like the spring-born innocence of a little tyke

When he laughs
My heart turns light
Banishing shadows into the night 

When he laughs
There is no resistance
He becomes part of a whole
Of this thing called existence.
