Love And Laughter Poem by Jim Yerman

What keeps families together and makes true friendships last?
What makes a moment special…before it fades into the past?

There is a simple answer…really…for no matter how or where….
when family and friends get together…love and laughter fill the air.

Whatever Fate throws at us…as we do our best to muddle through…
In the life we're trying to build…love and laughter are the glue.

The glue that binds our friends and family together…
as we share our hopes and dreams and fears…
the foundation that helps us rediscover joy
in the midst of sorrow and tears.

Perhaps that's why we were given the gifts of love and laughter…
Perhaps that is their goal…
Love…to bring strength and courage to our hearts…
and laughter…to bring joy and happiness to our souls.

When we look back on a person's life…is there a better epitaph….
than to say: They shared their love with us…
and…
OH! How they made us laugh?

So…if you want to keep your friends and family close
in this moment…and every moment after…
Let love bring you all together…
and whatever you do….
don't forget the laughter..
