Madeline

Helium

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.
