Laugh, My Friend

1)	God our great and loving daddy
        Wants us always to be happy.
        Humans are the only creatures,
        Gifted with the laughing features.

2)	Open your lips wide an’ laugh well.
        Ripen your laugh; gloom sen’ to hell.
        Lighten your load; lengthen your days.
        Heighten your joy; strengthen your blaze.

3)	Brighten with a loud laugh your face;
        Frighten worries; lift up your gaze.
        Laugh, my good friend, loud an’ have fun;
        Half the problems gone then; well done.

4)	Laughing ther’py works like magic,
        Healing inner mem’ries tragic,
        Making faces glow with grace well,
        Taking inner en’rgy to swell.

5)	Saving good laughs is my hobby;
        Will you kindly send one to me?
        This old man has hearing hardened;
        Please laugh louder; thank you, good friend.

Dear Beata, Glad to know that you enjoyed this poem. Thanks for sharing John 3:16. God has blessed me in countless ways that I ask myself, "What can I do in return to the Lord, for all that He has done for me?" The Lord tells me: "Make others happy." That is the reason I wrote this poem. May God bless you. Keep me in your prayers. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Trochee croakie, chortle, chortle \\ Moaning Myrtle, at last mirthful \\ Thankful for the levity; \\ Michael, keep 'em coming, please!
