So,
Where do you find happiness?
I asked
The little girl was looking up at me;
Seemed confused
It's right there
She said, pointing
Her face changed and she began to watch something very contently
A wicked grin flashed, excitement was displayed in every feature
She lunged for some imaginary something, letting out a squeal
Looked like she just captured a grasshopper
Pulling her arms in close she stepped to me
Look here
Whispering she pulled back her fingers to show me
Aww... I didn't get it
A little frown took over, she looked up into my eyes
Her expression again changed, excited again
Sitting now, legs crossed before her she watched something
Eyes and head would pivot back and forth
Like seeing a fish swimming
Darting in and out of view
I was curious, sitting facing her
I tried to follow the image too
Without warning she lunged for a spot
I missed it!
She exclaimed, eyes wide and searching
I think you're sitting on it, hurry!
Pushing me she tried to see under
No.. Not there.
The little girl sighed, sitting again. This time
she just sat and watched something in the air
Ooohh..
You could see the excitement again
She closed her eyes, biting gently on her lower lip
Waiting.
I watched her there for a few quiet minutes
Wondered if I should say something
Even peered into the sky, looking for what she saw
Giggling softly, the little girl fidgeted a bit, eyes still closed tightly
The air settled, time stood still
Time stopped without even noticing
The girl fell back, rolling with laughter and joy
You found me!
