Today I feel like laughing
though nothing is the cause
I feel like playing memories
that I can rewind and pause.

I feel like making more today,
doing things called silly
to see other people smile,
to make hearts flutter frilly.

I don't want to think of bad things
of pain, loss, and yesterday's goodbye,
up so early in the morning, thinking
I want to laugh so I don't cry.

I always remember this saying .....

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone
  
  
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, a poet of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is the author of this saying.

Given in my case, my day has just started, could it be there will be more to this day of mine, or another the same
