the beauty of a hearty laugh


This is a perfect picture of what my nephew Caleb's little personality is like...even though I had just gotten out of the shower, thus, why I look a little rough, I just couldn't NOT post his beautiful laughing smile...

Laughing Song...by William Blake
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;

When the meadows laugh with lively green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene,
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, ha he!"

When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, ha, he!"

Enjoyed your second poem. The first was a little creepy. You seem to have an amazing relationship with your nephew.
