I love the way you laugh.
Like a peal of handbells
With perfect pitch.
Or the sonorous belly laugh of a wind chime.
And when you laugh until you weep,
So that fat tears, good tears,
Drench your cheeks,
And you shake uncontrollably
With the joy of it.
What about when you are faced with the ridiculous?
So that your laughs scatter
Like gunshots of rapid rifle fire?
And those low chuckles that seem to start
Somewhere near your toes?
Your laughter is medicine, a sunburst, a holiday,
Infectious, inclusive, individual,
As are you.
I just love the way you laugh.
The Sound of Your Laughter

Some people are known by their laugh. Most of the time mine is a silent smile. Once in a while you will hear a deep belly laugh where I laugh so hard I can almost not breath but you really need to know me to hear that for it is not often. I do love to hear my wife laugh because her face just glows. I have never met a person that can cover all the deep meaningful laughs you share with us. I’ll just bet that is a very special person in your life.
It is! The best. And oh, how I love to laugh! X
