Laughter

When I hear a titter it always makes me sad for it seems repressed
  afraid to show its' voice
A normal quiet laugh is a little better
  still unsure of its' reception
But a good ole belly laugh makes my heart rejoice
  for it is unabashed to make its' voice be known
One day I hope to join the ranks of the belly laugh
  to be unashamed and proud of what I am
For laughter is the song of the soul

It certainly is Alice, nothing beats a good belly laugh. The world needs more of it right now, with all the gloom that is around us. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
