“A little laughter can help you skate across thin ice and reach the other side.”
Dr. Steve Stephens and Alice Gray, The Worn Out Woman
Laugh it Up
An explosion, a shove from behind
An unexpected trap, unwanted challenge
And I find myself
In a place I never wanted to be
Circumstances I wouldn’t have chosen,
A prison to most, an excuse to
Look down, get down, and fall down
But I am choosing to
Look up, laugh it up, and lighten up.
I laugh at how cunning the devil is
In his pursuit to bring my family down.
I laugh at the irony, the obvious attack,
No one is left out,
But I can see the truth and laugh
The cat chasing the dog.
The mouse scaring the elephant.
The devil trying to prove he’s God.
I laugh at my own humanity.
I laugh at my own mortality.
And I will laugh myself and my family
Across this thin ice
To the safety of the other side.
