Word-High July: Halakhak

Halakhak

The unforgiving day
has worn me out.

With sulky soul
I entered and heard
the loud laughter
of mom and dad,
followed by
the giggles of
my little lasses and lad.

I went in
and was welcomed
by their warm smiles.

My worn out soul
was revived.
My lungs breathe again.

I am home.

    I am home.

    What a delightful way to end the poem, which is such a fine look at the health that laughter can engender. God bless our families–our laughing families! You’re so right, sister! Humor can revive!

      5. I prayed fervently and very specifically, so I hope it helped her–and it took care of my fretting, so that was a bonus!! 🙂 ❤
