Laugh for life

and all the silly things it brings

for the early rain and fall

why don’t you sing?

Will you remember

to cry sometimes

tears for all living things

because we all forget.

I know you’ll smile

when you think about it all

squirrels and stray cats

passion and suits of armor

other unexplained randomness.

Sing though you don’t know the words

smile for an inside joke

and laugh for yourself

for you are wonderful.
