This made me laugh.

To a friend’s question of whether we 
plan more children I confess 
uncertainty, reply that there is still 
perhaps a year or two to decide. And,
watching my child chase a butterfly 
through blowing branches,
I remember when
I thought that was a long time.

This made me laugh. Bittersweet laughter, of course. At my age, with a grandchild, the years seem to last as long as - well, a butterfly rests on a fingertip.
