The Day We Caught Happiness

“Catching happiness,”
my sister called it,
as we grabbed for
falling leaves
in my uncle’s forest

And the delight 
in the efforts 
of my young children
as they gleefully
chased those 
blowing leaves 
proved that to be
an apt name,

one that I still think of
these many years later
each time I see
a falling leaf
