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!

up the bones."
