If I could write a book to read
I think I'd "plant some happy seed".
I'd fill it's pages with good cheer
And make all sorrow disappear.
Laughter is a healing balm
Which soothes the soul and makes us calm.
Happiness is pleasant treasure,
Bringing warmth in plenteous measure.
I would pen words of delight
To make the heart feel glad and bright.
Joy and laughter offset sorrow
And lift our hearts to face the morrow.
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul; and health to the bones."
Proverbs 16:24 KJV
