hehehehehe this cry is on me!


Poem Artwork

If you haven't cried
eventually before you die
you will cry
It might be going down
in the airplane you fly
or at the hand of the
love you defy
Maybe a sock in the eye

The laws of gravity say
what goes up
must come down
but what goes down
don't have to come up
A frown on the face
will stay in place
until we learn to laugh
on our own behalf

Happiness is an optional affair
and no one else care
They'll have us crying
with all the bull flying
Very few can laugh it off
then land soft

Kind of sad. I may shed a few tears right here.
May God give you more reason to laugh.

Plenty of "bull flying", for sure. Something I've had to learn and am still learning--"laughing it off and trying to land soft". Easier as you get older. And yes, if happiness isn't a choice, how you choose to react certainly is. "Learning to Laugh"--stamp that on my forehead, lol.
Like this wise One...

Very nicely written and so true -"happiness is an optional affair".
This was categorized "Action/Thriller" - I'm thrilled, where's the action? (Smile!)

That is a pleasantly playful slant on a normal serious subject. Very fun. Be well, Kathy
