Beluga

When we entered the aquarium        
you flew to the glass wall.

Behind it: sunlit aqua water
as though we were standing

in the parted Sea of Reeds.
A sleek white shape swam past

spinning gracefully. "Look,"
you shouted, "a beluga!

A real beluga! Right here!"
Help me to see the world

as you see it, every day
a new reason to jump for joy.
