Following the baptismal dunk the baby cried,
The people clapped, smiled, rejoiced.
Food and drink and warm, breezy air.
The young couple with young child
Starting their lives onward from a
Picnic and sun dresses and loving
Companions.
Muffins and fruit
Mimosas and mementos.
A healthy gust whipped through and a
Lone party balloon broke free.
As white a baby Madeline's baby dress.
It danced and rose into the sky
Higher and higher
And we all watched in wonder.
