A Child’s Laughter

The magic of a child's laughter

Astin Parker

A child laughter is a sweet music to the ear
Like angels singing, a joy to listen
From a baby’s giggle on a crib somewhere
To a toddler’s laughter out there playin’.

A child’s laughter can bring a smile
To someone mad about life
Laughter that covers pain for a while
And brings hope and will to survive.

Vonn Kaleb

A child’s laughter full of innocence and joy
Adults desire but deprive of such
Laughter that offers dreams to enjoy
And brings back memories we treasure much.

A child’s laughter can bring out the best
To someone, when he’s depressed
Because his spirit starts to soar
When he laughs once more.

  30. For me, a child's laughter is the most beautiful sound in the world. Nothing warms the heart than to hear a young one express his/her joy through the innocence of a hearty laugh.

  31. It's true. sometimes when I have problems, i talk to my young cousin and asking him about his idea of my problem, he makes me laugh. Kids answer things in simple ways. kase as we get older, mas nagiging complicated tayo.. kaya ang saRAP din maging bata minsan. :D

  33. I love your poem, Papaleng! I am always touched when something in a child is being put into words. I have actually written something about a child's laugh, too. I was so inspired one day when my daughter started to chuckle and giggle without limits. You might want to check out my post, it has the same tones that your poem has. http://www.aschoolingmom.com/2012/07/a-childs-laugh/

  41. I love the poem I was smiling while reading it. Having a child is always a blessing, even you undergo such a hard time in life. Tru a kiss and a hug from a child it makes you realize life is short to not smile and laugh at your problem.
