Oh Helen...I try
to explain why
you always
make me smile.
Is it your naked wit
how it parries cuts & thrursts
or your humour
how it bubbles up
bringing things
to the boil
or like the bubble
in a spirit level
looked through
with fascination
when you were small
maintaining the world
at a steady level
....magic...magical.
