WHY WE LAUGHED
We laughed because we were happy;
how simple can it be?
Now we think before we laugh,
insecurely and tentatively.
We laughed because we were innocent,
not believing things could change.
But inevitably much was altered;
life became worrisome and strange.
We laughed because it was natural;
sunlight flowed within our veins.
How sad the moment when darkness came,
revealing truth within chilling rains.
I believe laughter will return,
bringing joy and wonder home to stay.
Memories will remind us of our youth,
while happiness leads the way.
