'Laughter Makes Me Feel Younger' Poem by Linda Winchell

There were times when I use to laugh
where I had felt so much younger.
Feeling the joy of its pleasure well down in my soul
From far beneath its down and under.

It took me to a special place
Where I once always loved to go.
But with time and age it seems
I remembered it less to know.

I try to laugh now every chance I get
If only just to chuckle at myself.
Bringing up all the youth once known
Of my younger special kind of self.
