One Single Impression

You are the balm for my soul

My gut reaction when things turn sour

Often inappropriate

Always healing

******

You ring like musical bells

Inside my head

When you erupt from the ones I love

Especially the belly version from a child

*****

When you are absent

From my life

The days are dark and dreary

Seeming to drag on forever

*****

When you are present

Each and every day

Is a more precious gift

Of beauty and grace
