It's easy making laughter,
I do it all day long,
To me it is-so worthwhile,
To make somebody smile.

Sadly life won't always flow,
Like the melody of song,
Admire the ones that can still smile,
When everything goes wrong.

Trouble tests your heart,
And it comes more through the years,
The smiles that are worth
More than anything on earth,
Are the smiles that shine through tears.


For my dear pal Lizzy Santos....a true talented poet, and a fine lady......

Thank God for laughter.

To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday.

I love your poem, but now at the end, I've got an even bigger smile on my face. I'm even gigglin' a little. you are so sweet, and you wanna know somethin'? I think we got the same genes somehow. 'Cause there's always somethin' to smile about.
Thanks, dear friend
This meant so much to me
More than you know
Love ya
Liz

Toe your lovely

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.
