Queen Bee
Here's what I am going and willing to do
Make a pinky promise and swear an oath
unto both me and to you
Then spend the rest of every second of my entire life
Trying my level best to make you laugh
Because if have nothing else or lesser gift I have
to offer this world
Listening to the sound of your laughter
Would mean my life would have at least not
amounted to nothing
And I would then gladly leave or pass away
With a smile beaming from ear to ear upon on my face
As long as I am stuck permanently with the image
Of your smile in your face and laughter in my ears
Making me cry the happiest joyful tears
I have ohh so missed dearly out on sadly for
way too many years since I have been gone
No matter whether those reasons be deemed in future
To have been judged right or in fact wrong
As the future finally looks brighter than the past
at last
By the mere prospect of waiting to see you in
person simply smile and hear your most infectious
laugh
As all my heart and my woes slowly melt away
like ice cream dripping down a cone
On a clear mid - summer's heatwave infused day
Taking a stroll through central park watching the people
I pass bask in the rays of the sun
Happy and confident in the thought I don't have to
tell them or anyone else for that matter
Of the healing and medicinal powers of laughter
can do for and on the mind and the soul
Apart from to say there is nothing quite like it
to fix and fill a hole and make one feel hole again
