SHE IS LAUGHING TOO

It took him a long time to laugh after she was gone

even once the initial sadness faded.

He thought it would be disrespectful.

He thought her memory would be jaded…

 

But then in the midst of his sadness

he remembered her laugh one day

and he knew how sad it would make her feel

If her death took his laugh away.

 

Remembering her laugh made him realize

how by her memory he is blessed

how finding joy and laughter without her

doesn’t mean he misses her less.

 

So today he loves to laugh

he no longer feels blue…

for he knows when he is laughing…

somewhere….

 

she is laughing too.
