Laughter

He hides behind a veil of shadow
To disguise a smile as lovely as sunlight
His voice rich and warm with laughter
As he commands an audience before him

Whether strolling along an ivory beach
Or bathed in a glorious spotlight
You are all we can see
A wraith that demands our attention

Prancing about in glitter and sequins
Your dark eyes a picture of innocence
We saw your true colors
When you danced onto the screen

Hopping about in shredded denim
Tossing your curls about your face
Our cute little magpie, canary sweet
Wed to a colorful hummingbird

We love you, our raven, our little darling
Our tiny blackbird, we will always be here
Watching you, adoring you
Laughing at your jokes
