Sabbatical Reflections: Words on a Page #24 The Best Medicine


The Best Medicine

Laughter wells up and spills over.
Like a singing stream, 
a song of joy bubbles and gurgles.

Laughter rises and bounces up.
Like a dancing dolphin, 
riding the wake with a jump and frolic.

Days of sadness have gone before.
Songs of mourning filling my week.
Waves of grief have racked and crashed. 

But today, I chuckle and chortle.
His essence fills my aching soul with good medicine.
Laughter wins today!
