He sat on the sofa.
his father came in and placed a wrapped gift into his hands.
He unwrapped it carefully.
The mother, father and brother's attention stayed on him.
As his expression changed from anticipation to glee.
Feelings overwhelmed the child
An intensity almost uncontainable.
His legs kick up and he jumps off the sofa.
To celebrate in his own rendition of free dancing.
His laughter rising and falling with unrestrained joy.
Awkward yet magic his boots beat the floor.
As he holds the gift up,
as if he recieved the whole universe,
as if some miracle had taken place.
He looks back toward his parents and grins.
