The Best Flight

 

There is no greater ignition

Than the flight of someone’s laughter.

Even brighter when one can be the

Inspiration for that lift-off.

 

The experience of pain and grief

Is an everyday occurrence.

And sometimes, one is called upon

To bear another’s suffering.

 

But laughter is the universal gas

Propelling the elevation of spirit

To appreciate the greater beauty

Of all that we are given in this life.

 

And friendship is the fulcrum

On which our lives are balanced.

It feeds our joys and memories

And encourages anticipation.

 

We do not exist alone in living

Or grow a satisfying universe

Without the favor of our friends

To fuel our inner tanks!

 

God bless you one and all

And thanks for your existence

Your love and laughter is the source

That fills my cranky vessel.
