The gift of laughter is a rare gift it is such a wonderful thing <br />And laughter can create more laughter to it there is such a beautiful ring <br />The people who laugh seem to make friends quite easily and in numbers their friends seem to grow <br />But the people who take life too seriously are the people few wish to know. <br /> <br />The woman next door is a laugher she has with her a winning way <br />She is one who makes friends quite easily she always smiles and says good day <br />A person like her is worth knowing she spreads around her gift of cheer <br />For to stimulate laughter in her heart she doesn't need spirits or beer. <br /> <br />Compared to her the bloke three doors down is so different a smile never does cross his face <br />He is always so serious looking perhaps laughter he cannot embrace <br />A good laugh would be so good for him since none look more serious than he <br />If everyone took life so serious how boring a thing life would be. <br /> <br />The gift of laughter is a great gift and with it there's none to compare <br />And the people with it are invaluable since they spread it around everywhere <br />Life seems far too short to be grumpy since we will be forever dead <br />And feel grateful for people who can laugh their happiness they seem to spread.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gift-of-laughter/
