Just Laugh
Laugh when you are feeling upside down
Laugh when you feel like you want to frown
Laugh when you are climbing the mountain
Laugh when you make it to the top.
Laugh when you make a big mistake
Laugh with honor when you walk through the gate
Laugh when the odds are forcing against you
Fight back with dignity and laugh.
Laugh when you have to endure sleepless nights
Laugh when you have to put up a fight to survive
Laugh when the journey seems longer
Keep laughing because it won’t last forever.
Laugh when your needs are not fully met
Laugh with your might and don’t ever fret
Laugh when the bills are racking sky high
Laugh until your purposes are fulfilled.
Laugh when everyone is attacking you
Laugh when they say nasty things about you
Laugh because you know where you are coming from
Laugh, you have endured humiliation for so long.
Laugh when you are in the heat
Laugh when life gets very sweet
Laugh when you feel upset
Life with power and humility
Laugh with love and dignity.
When the day is done
And you emerge on top
Raise your hands towards the heavens and laugh.
