I spied you crying,
you saw me laughing;
I started to cry
you began to laugh.
Seems both are contagious.

I certainly know laughing is contagious! Not surprised it crying is even more so because empathy would lead us to feel the sorrow of the one crying. The good thing is, laughter usually stops the crying...at least for a while.

Thanks for entering my contest.

nice piece. Very true message. If only laughter could be more contagious than tears the world would be a better place. Excellent message.
