Laughter
  Laughter
  The way it makes the world smile
  The way that it can brighten your day
  The way that it can bring happiness
  Such a humble sign and sound
  Yet so powerful
  Containing the power to enlighten someone on the inside
  To break an awkward silence
  To make a conversation more detailed
  To just have fun
  
  Laughter is the sound of joy
  The sound of glory
  The sound of  accomplishment
  And the sound of shock
  It is sometimes the unpleasant sound of hatred
  Or the lack of acceptance
  But laughter’s positives outshine the negatives
  Because laughter can be used to save someone
  To make them feel the joy in the room
  To make them feel welcomed
  
  Most importantly laughter comes with a smile
  And a smile is something that belongs to you
  That no one can take away
  That only you can have
  Because your smile
  Makes your laughter
  And no sound in this world can match the endless
  Soothing and welcoming sound
  Of your laughter
