The Sound of Laughter by: Francis Duggan

 The sound of laughter is a thing of beauty for laughter spreads the very gift of joy
That people they are drawn to happy people is not that hard for to understand why
Since everybody wishes to be happy and laughter it spreads happiness around
And only the heartless could not like the sound of laughter for laughter is a very happy sound, 
Than laughter there is no more happy feeling laugh and the World laughs with you seems so true
But if you feel sad and for yourself feeling sorry the saddest person in the World is you
Even your friends would rather not be with you if they see you as one who worship gloom
The happy people attract people to them and in their presence happiness does bloom, 
The sound of laughter sends out laughter ripples it is a sound one always loves to hear
And laughter it gives rise to smiling faces and never fails to fill the cup of cheer
The sad one who feels comfort in self pity is the one others do not wish to know
But if you are one who laughs away your worries your friends in numbers seem to grow and grow
And who could not but love the sound of laughter to it there always is a joyful ring
It seems to send happiness out in ripples it is a joyful and infectious thing. 

What Happiness Is by: Sam Byron

happiness 
is bliss

happiness, 
is when you get a new puppy
happiness, 
is when you get married
happiness, 
is when you go on you first date
happiness, 
is making your own decisions
happiness, 
is graduating
happiness, 
is getting you first job
happiness, 
is 
falling in love
happiness
is being proud of who you are

happiness 
is bliss

happiness, 
is glowing
happiness, 
is fun
happiness, 
is an amazing feeling
happiness, 
is when you smile all day
happiness, 
is giving someone a hug just because you can
happiness, 
is that light in your eyes
happiness, 
is what makes the world go around

happiness, 
is bliss 

Let Get Laughter Way Out of Yourself by: Mencita Monoi Angel

Let get laughter way out of yourself 
Make the happy sound awake 
Laughter magic and enchanting 
Don't sustain it in your soul 
Let yourself go into joy 
May it help forever 
People from wherever 
Getting circled together 
Laughter can be a kind of help 
A worthy enemy to distress 
Rise this laughter so dear 
To be heard by human ears 
Make it go on around the world 
Little chuckles happy giggles 
So many ways of laughing 
Don't fear the others comment 
Let laughter way out of yourself 
Be assured laughter is magic 
Open your heart to this very 
Very special kind of sound 
Let get laughter way out of yourself
Make the happy sound awake 

A Moment of Happiness by: Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

 A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land. 

Love, Laughter, and You by: Harry J. Couchon Jr

Three things that make my life complete
Are love, laughter, and you, my sweet
The laughter has lasted since day one
Loving you darling, has been so much fun

Whether it's giggles at the kitchen table
Or all out laughter wherever we're able
Each and every laugh, a symbol of our love
You're my everything, all I ever dreamt of

Our love, now that's a bit more serious
Shining through when our laughter is delirious
Starting the day with love's tenderness
Saying goodnight with a sweet caress

Love, laughter, and of course you.
You bring into my life the other two
From the day we met, and for every single day
Love and laughter in our lives will stay 

Your Laughter

Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.

Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.

My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.

My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.

Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.

Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die. 

Laughter-Laughter by: juahta sitepu

laughter - laughter here I come
to make my friend smile and calm
jump and jump to the left to the right
thru the day time and night

laughter - laughter here I am
to make true all the sweetest dreams
like my friend always has in sleep
thru the very beautiful night 
that will never skip

laughter - laughter here we are
my friend and I are blab - blab - blab
and we are happy and careless
cause the better future are waiting for us

laughter - laughter, who are you? 
WHAT! you don't recognize me? 
I am sorry, I thought I know you 
but just let it be
because a real friendship doesn't care who we are

Happiness by: Juan Olivarez

Happiness is being home again, 
Happiness is walking in the rain. 
Happiness is waking with no pain. 

Happiness to see my humble home, 
Happiness at not being alone, 
Happiness to sit, and not to roam. 

Happiness is family to me, 
Happiness in the faces, I longed to see, 
Happiness is once more being free. 

A Child's Laughter by: Harry J. Couchon Jr

One of a kind this cheerful sound
A child's laughter wherever it's found
From the giggling of a baby in a playpen
To the laughter of a toddler again and again

A child's laughter can bring a smile
To one who hasn't done so in such a long while
I know because that one was me
Until my daughter's laugh set mine free

A child's laughter so gleeful and pure
An innocence adults miss for sure
Laughter that can bring back the past
And memories of a youth that flew by so fast

A child's laughter can bring out the best
Of most any man when he's depressed
Cause his spirit that's fall to soar
Until at last he laughs once more
