The Gift of Laughter

Thank you for the gift of laughter,
Spontaneous response to humour,
Tears of joy welling up in your eyes,
Emotion released into the air!

Laughter is the best medicine
When you're feeling blue;
Just a little inspiration
Can spark a flame in you...

A word of encouragement here or there,
A smile on someone's face,
The kindness of a stranger,
A song that touches your heart.

An inspirational painting,
A poem that leaps out of the page,
A verse of scripture that speaks to you
In a fresh, new way.

Where would we be without laughter?
God has coloured our lives with
Such an amazing gift to share,
Uplift and encourage one another.

    Thanks for entering. This is very lively. I loved it. It was very inspiring. It left me feeling inspired to write a poem of my own. My favorite lines were:
    An inspirational painting,
    A poem that leaps out of the page,
    A verse of scripture that speaks to you

    Sorry but I'm deleting this contest because only two of you have been gracious enough to follow the rules and sign my urgent petition. You would have come second so if you want the points tell me who you are?

    Thanks

    Peace Georgia
