Laughing Out Loud

Nothing can possibly defeat,
the infectious laughter of a baby,
I saw one the other day,
thinking, "How much have I laughed lately?"
My laugh resonated once,
it made others happy.
But now my laugh has dwindled out,
leaving behind something sappy.

I want to laugh,
laugh so loud,
that they can even hear me,
sitting up in the clouds.

Stifling my laugh just because
others said so,
had become a habit that,
I didn't even know.
So I'll laugh out loud,
for everything from now on,
the baby should have someone to laugh with,
that laugh mustn't be gone.

I want to laugh,
laugh so loud,
that they can even hear me,
sitting up in the clouds.
