We cry when those we love are gone Remembering their place in our days Oh how we'll miss their love and bright smiles Their warm and considerate ways Yet we smile when we remember the laughter That caught us often unawares That shared and glorious laughter Often through grateful tears. I'm sure even yet they're looking down Encouraging a laugh or smile Enjoying our mirth at a silly joke Laughing with us all the while We value the friends who hold our hands And the ones who inspire us to pray But Oh, those friends who make us laugh And brighten up our days!! When all the world seemed dark to us A giggle would light a spark Spreading soon to heartfelt laughter Illuminating well the dark. Those who have gone before us See our frustration and pain If we could hear their voices I think this is what they would say.... "Remember us well dear Sisters Shed the tears that must come But most of all, remember the laughter The days and times of fun For it is often there we found healing Or the strength to carry on And when you laugh, listen to the wind We'll be laughing along." Cheri' C. Carlson 5/13/05 written for my Sisters of choice, of heart and of eternity. Dedicated to "Peaches", who taught us that laughter is the medicine we need to survive life and that shared laughter bonds the hearts. From Lena Webset made by Graphics By Loyce for WWAUS.
