Your Forgiving Laughter Poem by Houda Boukassoula

The day your laughter let you down
Everything was moving towards the end
Beaming bright colours were going to fade
Dry wizened leaves concealed the fertile ground
Gloomy gray clouds were obscuring the shining sun
Exhausting in my heart all joy, mirth and fun
All my dreams seemed to tumble down
When a subtle soft smile elated your face
A ray of sunlight streamed through the clouds
Spreading a glint of hope in the heart you cast down
Shyly announcing an early spring inflow
To the prolonged painful freezing lawn
Nothing but laughter could simply avow
A forgiveness that made hope inside me grow
The leaps of laughter were the lines you draw
To inspirit our love and limit our souls' sorrow
Nothing but laughter can sweep a grief and end a woe
As a luster granting life a steady glow.
