NaPoWriMo 4: Surprised by Joy

Surprised by Joy

at 3-months-old
you laughed, surprising me
with a full-throated giggle
when i unlocked the mailbox
and extracted a letter
so marvelous, you seemed to think
this little door
that opens to reveal
the day’s correspondence
so extraordinary, the ordinary
to a child, seeing it all
for the first time

    Grandma Silly thinks that mailbox is pretty funny, too, Marie Joy. I keep meaning to send you a musical card! And it’s wonderful your mom is capturing this in poetry.
