Shadows

Shadows in the morning
are friendly
They reach out you, to pull you back to bed
they grin and tease you, as you make breakfast
Shadows in the morning
are friendly

Shadows at night
are not
They reach out to you, to pull you into dangers
they grin and tease you, showing you what they could do
Shadows at night
are not

Which are you I wonder?
Shadow of the morning?
Or
Shadow of the night?

Remember to laugh

"Remember to laugh"
when days get colder, harder
"Remember to laugh"
when all the world turns on you
"Remember to laugh"
when hope seems so far away
Remember
Remember
Remember
"Remember to laugh"
I say quietly
weakly
faintly
soundlessly
"Remember to laugh"
I say hoping that I'll
Laugh instead of Cry
Giggle instead of Shout
Remember that laughing is the
ONLY WAY
that you'll get through today
