Today's a day for laughter
Cackling right out loud,
Make a person smile today
Captivate a crowd.

They might look at you,
And think you are quite odd,
May tell you 'bout comedians,
Out looking for a job.

Make some faces-tell some jokes,
Be a clown for just one day,
You might cheer up a 'sad' someone,
Make their worries go away.

Smiles that are worth
More than anything on earth
Are the smiles that shine thru tears.

You are so right! I love to be with people who have a sense of humor and are as silly as I am.

Toe, my dear friend,
sending great HUGS to you
because you are reminding me
of the man I have loved
ever most in my life.
so if and when you meet my Dad?

Give him the biggest hug ever
and say

"this is from your Sunshine!"

Now I know this ain't gonna happen for
a great long time, but now that I've
planted the seed,
you know you have to grow the moment.

And for a side note? He's going to give you
a great hug back, for all of the encouragement
you ever gave his gal!

Love you!

Wonderful reminder, dear Toerag! We all are in bad need of more laughter, it's as important as our daily bread indeed.  People who can laugh are much healthier, that's a proven fact!

But to make grim faces soften into a smile or perhaps laughter, isn't always so easy, but it's worth the attempt.

Smiles that are worth
More than anything on earth
Are the smiles that shine thru tears.

I love every line of this beautiful poem, but it's these last 3 that really grab my heart. Every smile is a gift... but these are truly treasures... and I always hope the giver knows how much they are appreciated. *S*

Even the title gives a smile... This is wonderful! *S*
