Laughter Comes 'Round the Curves

When sorrow reigns fierce Within your heart's chambers Slowly dragging its feet Oblivious to your pain Listen to another’s story Give your time; lend an ear Soon, feel your heart lighten! And then you’ll realize, you’re not alone As you share each other's burdens Laughter comes ‘round the curves' See how fast crooked paths straighten And as laughter grows, sorrow fades ~*~

Laughter is so good for our spirits, Annalise. I love your poem! Reminds me of my Aunt Eva's perspective on life. She used to tell me if I would only smile, soon my cares would fade. A great entry for the laughter contest, dear! Love, Carolyn
