When Laughter is Heard
I laughed so much today that I thought I’d share this poem again. The reason for my joy and laughter today was a visit with my six month old granddaughter. Her smile, sweet giggles and hardy chuckles could make anyone feel happy.
When laughter is heard,
hang on to its sound.
it resonates well-being.
Hearts heal with laughter.
The old feel young again;
burdens and worries disappear
and the mind is rid of thoughts
and free of dreaded fear.
Therefore, as breath is life
and we need to breathe every second of the day
make laughter just as indispensable
and find something nonsensical
to make you chuckle with a strong har-de-har
and when laughter is heard
you know it will take you far.
Below is my interpretation of laughter:

I saw you today with the family. Pure happiness radiated from all! Adorable baby. (I was driving and didn’t want to beep and scare you).
