Grin Medicine

Joy is medicinal.

Happy hedonic

with a smile electronic,

whose laughter's a tonic

for mental pain, chronic,

sad giggle wins

for the hurt that begins

in the heart that doesn't heal

unless forgiveness of sins.

Chortling's medicinal

for hurt not nutritional.

Bad fickle coughs of memories

float through the air

when we choose to be joyful

instead of past-care.

Please give yourself

a medicinal grin.

Joy is contagious

share the grin within.

Lighthearted conversations

are twice as complete

when souls meet the beauty

of happiness e'er sweet.
