I Found Laughter and This Is What Happened

Such a curious little thing you are!

I remember when I was young the high frequency of your visits You were there daily and never far

But now that I am older when perhaps I need you most It seems I have to call louder to keep you close

When you arrive you always do me best bubbling up, over spilling in those vital moments I need to get things off my chest

But then you slowly fade leaving me to realize again How life without you is never the same

Oh laughter I need you my faithful friend

Allow me to share you in the company I spend Allow me to shine your light to one and all and pass on your contagious trend

So that when I become a memory pieced together by strings of connected brevity It will be with a fondness of glorious times gone by like happiness shared, carried on the joyous wings of a thousand blue butterflies

Because the laughter I now know, has taught me Life is not about control Instead about finding a balance between acceptance and learning to let go

So laughter, yes I repeat You are a curious little thing I am learning, I need to grant you your space to do your thing!
