Laughter
Laughter
The way it makes the world smile
The way that it can brighten your day
The way that it can bring happiness
Such a humble sign and sound
Yet so powerful
Containing the power to enlighten someone on the inside
To break an awkward silence
To make a conversation more detailed
To just have fun
Laughter is the sound of joy
The sound of glory
The sound of accomplishment
And the sound of shock
It is sometimes the unpleasant sound of hatred
Or the lack of acceptance
But laughter’s positives outshine the negatives
Because laughter can be used to save someone
To make them feel the joy in the room
To make them feel welcomed
Most importantly laughter comes with a smile
And a smile is something that belongs to you
That no one can take away
That only you can have
Because your smile
Makes your laughter
And no sound in this world can match the endless
Soothing and welcoming sound
Of your laughter
