Fill up the bucket
empty it; fill it again
smile with joy
the satiny liquid caresses our spirits
as much as tiny fingers
thoughtfully learning about its flow
watering her hand
it runs down an arm
dripping off of an elbow
along the rock
for a meeting with the sparkling lakewater
water Gramma's toes
chuckle with amusement
gaze at Mummy
pure pleasure
happiness is a bucket of water
can it get any better than this?
