love of life and laughter

I wrote this sitting in the fishbowl last January and dedicated it to some of my dearest friends... you know who you are :) I have the past couple weeks felt these feelings renewed.

I want more than my eyes to convey my laughter
and my smile- the joy within.
I want my love of life to leak out my soul
through my fingertips and toes.
I want the air to sense and send it out
upon each breeze and drifting sunbeam.
I want the love to spread
make you catch your breath and sigh
make green things grow beneath your feet
and help you know that I feel God's love and light
and I can't contain it when you are by my side.
