I've heard that she who laughs, will last
i cannot say if this is true
my life's gone by so very fast
and as for laughs, I've had a few
my cares upon the winds, I cast
and sailed away upon the sea
straight and solid was my mast
and my longing to be free
been times life's hit me with a blast
or rocked me sweet and slow
i hear the whispers of my past
singing soft and low
my future yet is shining vast
fate mingles with my own free will
I've heard that she who laughs, will last
and as for laughs, I'm laughing still
Oh, how nice! I loved the rhyme and rhythm; they help your poem swing and sway with the freedom you wrote of. Nifty to see style and content tied together so well!
ReplyDeleteI like your poem very much. I do think it is important to be able to laugh at life, to look at it sometimes with light hearted nature. Despite what life presents a person with, one has to find humor somewhere..... I like your attitude. Smiles!

ReplyDeleteI agree with your sentiments! I remember hearing once, if I didn't laugh then I just might cry. I think laughter is the better option.
