THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER

I want a friend with whom to laugh,
who isn't sorrow bent,
but everywhere I seemed to go,
sorrow also went.

If I could fly off to the moon,
would laughter I find there,
or does sadness fill the universe
and tears found everywhere?

Perhaps if I be the one to laugh,
another's heart to lift,
I could make another smile
and give laughter as a gift.
