A Little Laughter Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Laughter shows no disrespect
to the memories of those we've lost…
sadness is a fact that will remain

An absence creates a vast emptiness
when a love that was shared is severed…
laughter is a small way to ease the pain

Share a little laughter with a friend
even when shadows of sorrow
are laden in the clouds of rain

A little laughter sparingly shared
can bring warm rays of sunshine
breaking through… keeping us sane

Loved ones who have passed
would want us remember this…
In their memory... enjoy life again
