Laughter is truly the scientifically proven universal medicine. To bring joy to others is a gift that we should all try to master. God must have a good sense of humor. Well done Acrostic. Enjoyed it.... Robert.

an awesome little poem for an awesome action that we make in life when we are happy!! A question for you. To make it bold print for each front letter, do you have to do the symbols before and after EACH letter , line by line?? Such a lot of work. But I have always wanted to do an acrostic this way!!

Thanks, Andrea. Yes, that is how you do it. I sometimes do all of the beginning symbols down the lines, type in the first letter of the line, and then do the ending symbols, then go back and type in the rest of the line...not as likely to miss one that way and have all the craziness show up when I post. It is a pain, but the acrostics look so much better that way.
