I Laugh

I laugh When storms brew and the rain is cold; I laugh When the road is never ending and rocky; I laugh When trouble finds me around every bend; I laugh When judgements come from outside forces; I laugh When approached in anger by another; I laugh When adversity is found in conversations; I laugh When challenged by struggle and obstacles; I laugh When the coyote is at my door; I laugh When there is chaos in the world; I laugh For none of these things will break me; They will worry me not in the least. I have no doubts in myself; Within I remain at peace. Come what may, I will remain; Unshaken by society. I am true to myself; That alone keeps me free. So, I laugh Darlene Doll Smith
