Sunshine and laughter
Butterflies waving their wings
Someone died today

The concept of this poem is so profound. People keep living their lives despite what happens around them and what others go through. I cant wait to read more of your writing :)

I couldn't agree more. So much is said about the reality of life in these three lines and seventeen syllables. Remarkably beautiful! I want more please!
