Laughing Child and Echoes of Innocence in Verse
Excerpted verse depicts a child’s unrestrained laughter as a pure joyful sound that brightens the world. The lines compare laughter to birdsong and summer air, and reflect on how childhood mirth contrasts with adult care and memory. The piece nods to a Louisville Messenger reader note about a girl and a playful, conversational aside.
