You Make Me Laugh

You make me laugh
when showing that I can not have.
You make me sigh
then show what's nearby
You make me wish for things
gone arrant
and yet I cry not,
when I care most high.

You make me laugh again,
and not sigh; for things I wish for not in the sky.
I laugh out loud,
to protect my fate,
In hopes it's enough
to be on my plate.
You make me laugh,
for I do not hate.
for I am grateful for this
to germinate
You make me laugh.
