I want to write comedy

My drama queen is near used up

Fresh out of tears

Shirking the heavy cloak

That weighs down my beat up spirit

Seeking a lighter space

A place of gladness in my soul

A spot of sunshine in the garden.

I want to make people laugh

Not to despair for me

To welcome back my steady smile

Anticipate good news

Remembering punch  lines

Delivered with clever timing

Reach out open arms

And draw in this world of beauty.

 All the tools I need

Are lined up willing ready

Love of family and friends

Treasured memories never to be lost

Hoarding my health for richness of years to come

Generous with caring and love

Wisdom of years past

Still a work in progress.
