Laughter

August 22, 2022

Some days it’s essential, a good hearty laugh.
When life gets too serious, double the need,
Especially laughter that’s on my behalf.
To laugh at myself is essential indeed.

Life’s full of humor, it’s easy to see.
If I just look around me it’s not hard to find.
So why is it harder to laugh about me?
Would it shatter some image I’ve built in my mind?

I’m not always perfect, of that I am sure.
Plenty of things in my life go awry.
A good dose of laughter’s an excellent cure,
If I’m open, I’ll find it, I don’t have to try.

We all need some laughter, a little each day,
To lighten the troubles that life brings our way.
