Is to laugh, a curse,
or a blessing?
Because I cry in the rain,
and laugh with the sun's shine.
I laugh if I get hurt,
but I'll cry over a dead bird.
I'll laugh jubilantly
at a good joke,
but won't feel pleased,
if the joke's on me.
To laugh makes heartache disappear,
and won't allow depression
to get in the way.
After all,
is laughter the best medicine,
and if I can laugh at myself,
then I truly see it as a blessing!
