Laughter, the Best Medicine

You’ve heard it said, I’m sure

That if you laugh the world laughs with you

But you cry alone for they will ignore.

They know not what pain may make you cry

And may not even ask what they might do or say,

To ease your pain and rid your tears for they know not even why

You shed those tears, so naturally, they can’t make go away.

This means, my friend, it is up to you

To be the one to brighten up your world today.

I know exactly what you can do

To bring tears of laughter to your eyes.

Find some humor in anything

The benefits will bring a wonderful surprise.

You will soon find joy and your laughter will sing

It is good for your health, any doctor will tell you

And more importantly, you will find happiness within.

With each burst of laughter your lungs are cleared like new

And your spirits will surely rise again.

So laugh hard and long and keep a smile on your face.

A frown turns people away but they are welcomed by a grin.

They will see your smile which will serve to erase

Their own problems and give them a new frame of mind

My smile is your smile and yours is your another’s

And we all share our smiles like sisters and brothers.
