[iMy Son's Laughing Eyes

One day my son's eyes stopped laughing

Years passed,
My son, with his amazing sense of humour
laughed often
His eyes did not.

[What is more painful than pain?
More pain?
Unbearable pain.

A childhood idol
walked in
They chatted
My son and this dear, gentle man.
They laughed and talked about music
"What's your favourite Beatles song?" Paul asked.

Too soon, it was time to go
Paul hugged my son
and to the photographer said,
"Take a picture of me and my new friend Carson."

When I looked at that picture
now framed on my wall
Through tear-filled eyes
I smiled
as I found myself
looking into
my son's laughing eyes./i]]
