The sound of laughter is a thing of beauty for laughter spreads the very gift of joy <br />That people they are drawn to happy people is not that hard for to understand why <br />Since everybody wishes to be happy and laughter it spreads happiness around <br />And only the heartless could not like the sound of laughter for laughter is a very happy sound, <br />Than laughter there is no more happy feeling laugh and the World laughs with you seems so true <br />But if you feel sad and for yourself feeling sorry the saddest person in the World is you <br />Even your friends would rather not be with you if they see you as one who worship gloom <br />The happy people attract people to them and in their presence happiness does bloom, <br />The sound of laughter sends out laughter ripples it is a sound one always loves to hear <br />And laughter it gives rise to smiling faces and never fails to fill the cup of cheer <br />The sad one who feels comfort in self pity is the one others do not wish to know <br />But if you are one who laughs away your worries your friends in numbers seem to grow and grow <br />And who could not but love the sound of laughter to it there always is a joyful ring <br />It seems to send happiness out in ripples it is a joyful and infectious thing.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sound-of-laughter/
