~CHRIST'S LAUGHTER~

An upturned corner of the mouth

a crinkling about the eyes ~

a gentle hand to hold you near

a heart to hush your sighs...

The little children went to him

and were not disappointed

a giggle there, a tickle there

from Christ, the dear Anointed.

A deep and manly chuckle

what a treasure to have heard!

The Christ in all his glory

No speech was ever necessary

as he lived his Holy Word.
