Bella Shepard said:

The sun is indeed our center. It rises to tell us that the day is ours to make. And when it sets it may speak of a day well done. With all that we\'ve learned in that day, there is hope for each successive one. Thank you dear Andy for this wonderful reflection.

Today the teacher hid behind the curtains and the slip tells us it would be so until around noon tomorrow. The scholars await its shining.

so true Andy
(every new day\'s sun we glimpse
is a lesson in hope, manifesting
to affirm the value in this
our gifted lives
since, that warmth on our cheeks
is often enough to remind us
however dark
our clouds will make way, eventually
and that sunshine will light-up our path
once again...)
btw
how was your performance?
hope you had fun

When? It’s cloudy with possible showers;
Don’t tell me it doesn’t happen to you:
I know the English while away hours
Complaining of the latest weather too…..

Bottle up your sunshine and send it over here, post haste, Andy.
(Prepared to forget the beer and whisky you promised…… )

Stories Of Life.
Doggerel Dave said:

I thought myself a vegetarian;
Regaled people with stories of mass slaughter.
But now as an octogenarian
You want me to find a sense of humour?

Only kidding Andy….

Blessed Laughter.
arqios said:

Laughter, the best medicine. Bringing me back to the old days of RD (Reader\'s Digest pre-80s). This week me and the wifey were rolling on the floor laughing at the silliest things. Good timing for this uplifting poem! Thanks Andy.

Blessed Laughter.
Jerry Reynolds said:

Took a boomerang to a field and gave it a toss. it sailed spinning wildly thirty feet or more. Turned and came back.
Oh my says I.
I paid Five Dollars...

...to throw a stick at myself.

Blessed Laughter.
Fay Slimm. said:

You hit on the trait I feel is the best of healers my friend. - Laughter comes easily to those who light-hearted look for things to amuse and usually doing thus brings many blessings - - thanking you Andy for sharing this thought.

Blessed Laughter.
Bella Shepard said:

There is good reason why laughter is the best medicine. We even make light of bad situations by finding something humorous as a coping mechanism. Everything you say is oh so true, we are blessed! You\'ve chosen a honey of a clip with Victor Borge. I remember seeing him as a youngster, and as I watched I was laughing out loud, his timing was impeccable. Now I\'ll be driven to You Tube to find more. Thank You!!!

Joy and laughter are a necessity for happiness. The rest is just toothpaste!

Doggerel Dave said:

Ella Wheeler Wilcox gave it a shot,
Although others had done so before.
Seems a universal truth, is it not?
And you are the latest since times of yore.

There are some universal truths which need to be freshly presented every so often as a reminder, lest they be forgotten – thanks Andy
(Victor Borge would give anyone a great laugh – including me years ago, though this one I’d never seen… Thanks again, Andy.)

Whilst laughter may not in itself be the panacea we are all looking for .. it most certainly bloomin well helps ................. Neville :)

orchidee said:

Some folk just don\'t get the jokes, or are humourless.
But what \'comedy\' shows are there today? Mostly cringe-worthy ones where we say \'Laugh? I never even started!\'
I think of late-night shows: \'There\'s more rubbish I\'ve missed\' as I\'m in bed by then.

This is such a beautiful analogy. Having been a gardener in years past, I can relate to the feeling of hope that this lovely poem engenders. This is a definite fav for me.

Tomorrows Garden.
Doggerel Dave said:

You have just filled me full of envy -
No garden upstairs where I live;
But a bathroom very undry
Allows for a plant combative….

Tell ya ‘bout it later….
