Laugh


Laugh when the times are perfect

When all is right and good

Throw back your head and laugh out loud

Just because you should

 

Laugh when the times are boring

When nothing’s being done

Add some spice to the greyer days

And a little bit of fun

 

Laugh when the times are stressful

When you’re knee-deep in your woes

Chuckle in spite of your circumstance

And gently juxtapose

 

Laugh when the times are solemn

When joy can scarce be found

Take the time to add some cheer

And spread it all around

 

Laugh when the world’s against you

When they want to see you frown

Hold your laughter way up high

Don’t let them take it down
