Hope and Laughter are the Seeds I Sow
Life can be hard in this world that we know
When the storm hits, struggles and hurts it will blow
When the wind kicks up and has an unruly flow
There are two seeds I will choose to sow
So, when the wind blows these seeds around
They will scatter and dig deep into the ground
My seeds are hope and laughter that I sow
They can change your life and make you grow
And to our souls they so matter
Life looks a little brighter
Our heavy hearts a little lighter
The first is hope and how it flows like a river
Flowing beauty and peace like hope it delivers
Not seeing what is around the bend
Sometimes it’s scary not knowing what’s at the end
But just like hope it can lead to beautiful places
A waterfall or lake, creating a beautiful oasis
The second is laughter and how it rolls in like the ocean waves
Causing a ripple effect like laughter it spreads
Making us feel happy and getting us out of our head
Coming into the shore with a thunderous crash
You can’t help but wonder if that is their laugh
So, hope and laughter I choose to sow
Deep inside me they will grow
Spreading to all who are near
Giving the world much needed cheer
So, when your down, sow these seeds
Your life will change and at peace you will be!
