Make Believe

She laughs as long or short,
As light or hard, as I do.
She's learning what is funny,
My two-year old.

I laugh a lot.
I want her to learn that life is funny.

I want her to learn this
Because I believe that
Life is hard and serious,
And can only be survived
By believing the opposite.

We dance and twirl.
We laugh.

Through her I live the fantasy
That through me she's free to write.
