Faith Seeds: Prayers and Poetry

Laughter

Gathered among other women

sharing stories, watching

with joyful adoration

tumbling children, laughing,

growing in desert terrain.

Giggle  in her throat

twinkle in her eye

Sarai waits for questions,

“Your grandson?” “No, my own born son.”

Lets her laughter wave

over their shock

trying to absorb her words.

“God has brought me laughter.”
