Laughter

Jest works the best
To heal the quest


Look beyond deeds
To soul that seeds


Needs and wants come
To usurp sum


Be beyond need
If you must feed


Dare do more good
To meet your moods


Rise up each day
To fund bold play


Words tell on you
In steady cues


Be bold and brave
For goodness saves


All in due time
Each soul sets rhymes


Laughter speaks best
In this life quest


Laugh often now
For wit endows


Do all you can
To live your plan


Yet in the end
Death forfeits trend


Laugh even more
For laughter spores


He cannot die
Who knows fond highs
