LAUGHTER
Laughter
is love and kindness and fun
The feeling you have when a good deed is done
A gentle touch, a soft caress
It's joy, well-being and happiness
Laughter is
unpredictable, amazing and true
The colors of autumn, a baby brand new
A private smile shared with a friend
A bouquet of spring flowers we receive or send
Laughter
is comforting and special and rare
The kind of thing we feel we must share
A hike in the forest, a walk in the rain
It's nothing to lose and so much to gain
Laughter is
sunshine & rainbows & tears
Gives us hope, diminishes fears
Living life to its fullest in our prime
It's a sense of humor at just the right time
Laughter
is soothing and playful and right
Two lovers making up after a fight
A good cry at a movie, a job well done
It's a wonder of nature,
an eclipse of the sun
Laughter is
something everyone owns
It overcomes gripes and
grumbles and groans
It blocks out all unhappiness and strife
Laughter is necessary --
the essence of life
