Laughter

When the space I've occupied is empty
and I've gone away
Will the memory of me linger
Or will it go away
Laughter is the magic potion
That wipes away the gloom
For just a fleeting moment
Sunshine floods the room
Was I able to touch your heart
And make you smile
With one of my corny jokes
Or one of my many faces I would make for thee
Will your life be just a little
More meaningful from knowing me
And will you sometimes giggle with the thoughts of me
Then the purpose of my passing you
In this life has not been in vain
If I can make just one person smile
And be happy to know a love of another
It would be worth all of this and so much more
To know I came along this way and was able to ease your pain
