Laughter

They say laughter is the best medicine Yet… I have forgotten how to laugh With so much of life destine to learn I find… so much else isn’t to be asked Have I really forgotten? When heard was laughter so pure Have we too much reason? For laughter be heard to endure? And I hear myself this day When I laugh I remember How did laughter become this way? For memory to serve the better Is there the fake side of me? When a joke is for a need to laugh at And to remember, to hear and see Did I remember to be truly glad? Forgetting away when laughter is pure I have remembered to laugh When its life a forever given to implore So much more I need no more ask
