Sometimes a little laugh can change a day of anxiety to peacefulness


Poem Artwork

 Laughter

.
Dancing eyes watch fireflies
Laughter is a big smile
Illuminating the nightlight
Happiness is contagious 
Making everything feel right
Sadness lingers in the soul
No one can easily console
A person offers medical advice
Laughter is a tranquilizer 
With no side effect
But enters the soul and heart
A soothing equalizer
Days of worry and full of strife
Need something to make us
Feel good and not uptight
Laughter can remedy anything
Open up our hearts and make
Our souls sing

So true. Laughter changes the mood for us and the ones around us. It's free and yet we don't pursue it as frequently as we should. Ashiff

It is true that it is said that "laughter is the best medecine." Your verses attest to that. Thank you, Kathi. Love and best wishes,

Nothing is better than the sound of laughter. Indeed, it is food for the soul and every member of ones being.

There is a very close relationship between laughter and sadness. That's why, outside many a bar where people go to drown their sorrows, one will hear laughter emanating out into the street. Many comedians seek to draw out laughter while their lives are very sad.

I prefer happiness over laughter, but the laughter of a child can't be denied… Full of life and joy.

Laughter is lovely . . . Grinning is great . . . Smiling is sincerity . . . Sniggering is stupendous . . . and Beaming is Best!

On this day, 9/11 , a bit of laughter would, most certainly, be good for the soul of America.
Well done, Hazel Eyes.

Oh yes! I keep my partners laughing on the golf course so they won't talk about my score when it's over. That's a bad example, I know, but at least it's true.
