Laughter and love is what I’m thinking of

Laughter and love. Could there be anything better than those two things? And that’s a rhetorical question of course. Because they both are awesome examples of human connection to God. But before you click away, or stop reading and listening to what I’m talking about, try this… 15 seconds of laughter…and love how it feels. But don’t do it in public. You’ll look like a lunatic. Wait till you’re in a private place. Then, smile. Yep, just smile. But let your smile get bigger and bigger till you feel your cheeks almost come up to your eyes. And then, start laughing. And really let it go. But don’t allow yourself to feel weird about it. Just love the feeling in the moment. Are you doing it? You can lie to me. But you can’t lie to yourself. So, are you doing it? Or are you gonna do it? Because I dare you to feel anything but better when you do. I had a memorable laughing moment, way back in 1977. And it felt so good (even though I don’t remember what I laughed about), that I wrote a song about it. But I never recorded it. But I think I’m gonna. Here are the words… Laughter And Love And so, for the moment”dream Of the days to come When you’ll learn to run in fields of green. You’ll laugh when you’re feeling right. When you’re feeling wrong, You will cry for things you’ve not yet seen. Oh, but your laughter means so much more, you’ll see. So, think of the life you’ll live, Of the smiles you’ll give, And remember love to all you know. For years come and go so fast, Present fades to past All that’s left is pastel afterglow. Yes, but your laughter means so much more, you’ll see. Living a life that is empty of joy Can be no more than living in pain, But a life that is lived much in laughter and love Can be relived again and again. © 1977 & 2020 Tony Funderburk Stay tuned, Get my Rhyme & Reason Podcast delivered (free) right to your device.
