Love and Laughter by Milton Lee Norris

How great is the love, how wonderful the laughter
How wonderful the love, how great is the laughter
Both are splendid, both are refreshing and both soothe the soul and heal,
But which one would you rather have as a constant companion?
Which would you rather hug and snuggle up with?
Which would you rather tell a story and fix breakfast for,
Or Iron a shirt, or wipe their forehead, or kiss their lips and whisper
Sweet nothings which are really something into their ears?
I think this would be someone to love and someone you love
Because you could tell them a story, feel their breath as you kiss them,
Stroke their body as you soothe their aching pains and comfort them with just a look.
I think that this would be someone, some companion to love, to cherish,
To smile with, to talk with, to play with, to walk with, to have café with
To joke with, to swim with, to work with, to be with, whether it be on a sofa,
Whether it be on a bed, in the theatre, in a car, in church, at a party, at a dance,
At a wedding, in the shower, on the grass or on the sand, holding hands, dancing together,
Singing together, eating together, being together silently watching and listening to each other’s thoughts.
A little wine and then a little laughter just to complete being alone together.
I’ll take the love because then I can laugh with someone.
I’ll take the love because then I can hold someone and cuddle them.
I’ll take the love because I can nurture them as I love them more.
I’ll take this person because I do love him, for I am somebody who is worth something,
And I want to share my being with this person because I believe he is worth my love, and
He is showing me his love by the way he looks at me, smiles at me, comforts me, tickles me,
Cooks for me, writes for me, how he is with me in laughter and tears, supports me in the good times and the rough times and just allows me to be in silence sometimes for he knows that this is something we both need for ourselves and we are willing to wait as each other listens to their space and body and this world, and then sometimes we just hold each other silently listening to each others smiles, our lips, our eyes and ears and heart beat as we grow closer together falling in love more enjoying to romance, those rough edges and know how to love each other, and how to make each other laugh sometimes with words, sometimes not, yes this is the love which is refreshing, which is spontaneous, which is silent, which is firm, which is like a warm cool rain on a spring day, how beautiful this feeling of love can be, it can make you feel so much joy that tears begin to fall as your soul is cleansed, and as you begin to laugh for this enormous joyous feeling you really know that yes love is the most beautiful thing in the world and then there’s the laughter. Love, sharing, giving, being, taking, and receiving, how beautiful life is whether alone or with someone, but when you have that person to be with, to talk with, to have café and dinner with, to talk with, to cuddle with, yes this is love coming alive, and it’s the most beautiful thing in the world, it’s charming, it’s sensitive, emotional, and simply wonderful because you’re sharing you with that special someone and you are happily in love!

Meeting Someone

How loud can you scream without opening your mouth?
When meeting someone and you don’t know what to say,
How loud can you speak without moving your lips?
How big are your eyes and how far can you see?
And your face, what does it tell this new person?
Your lips, are you smile enticingly?
And your heart, does it begin to beat faster making you sweat?
How loud are you speaking with this body of yours?
Remember that it is the most expressive instrument you have.

Speak and speak loudly; you have your eyes that sparkle.
Scream and scream out loud; you do have your cheeks.
Yell and yell out loud; you have those lips.
Smiles tell so many things; what is your smile telling this person?
Your lips though not uttering a sound still can many messages.
What are they saying to this new friend?
Are you inviting them to stay, or are you turning them away?
Smile quietly, smile gently, smile bravely, but whatever you do,
Make sure this is the best smile that you give, and then whisper loudly!

What Intrigues You About Someone?

The things that intrigue us about other people is mind boggling some times. The eyes, the nose, the mouth, the head, the neck or the shoulders, the ears, the back, the face, the legs, the arms or the feet, their hands, or their fingers, their speech, or their laughter, what is it? The hair, the knees, their chest or their arse, their stomach or their thighs, their hips, their waist or their elbow, their chin, or their height or weight, or perhaps is it that simple smile? When does their heart and their spirit come into play, or does, and if so, how do you react? What intrigues you about someone? Good morning everyone!

Who Are You Really Denying?

What are you saying to your own children, when you deny them for being who they are, gay? What kind of message are you sending the world about loving, and the Christian beliefs that you say that you have? Christ was denied by the world, and is still being denied by many; when the so-called Christians of this world deny their own gay children and others, who do they think they’re really denying? What does that say about their beliefs in Jesus, and His teachings of loving one another?

Your gay children don’t have any trouble loving you, but for some reason, you have a problem loving them. Many of you can’t stand your own children, because God didn’t give you what you wanted. Others tell their gay children that they really love them, but they don’t, how can they, if they fail to accept them for who they are? “Love is the most precious thing in the world, it’s beautiful, and then there’s the laughter.” Remember love is not just a word that you say to someone, or a thought that jumps out of your mouth, no love is showing another person that you love them. You must show love or it is not an act of affection, that’s one of the how to of loving someone; you must show them an act or acts of how you really feel, and if it doesn’t excite you, if it doesn’t put you in some kind of euphoric state, then you really haven’t got the how to of love yet. When God gives you something, love it.

Know What Your Blessings Are

Know what your blessings are. When you can awake and smile, and just stare into the space; know that you are being blessed. When you can feel the warmth in a room; know that you are blessed. When you can feel the water touching your skin; know that you are blessed. When you can smell the fragrance of your morning beverage; know that you are blessed. When a smile greets you daily; know that you are being blessed. Whether it’s a stranger that is greeting you, or a dear old friend; it really doesn’t matter because you are being blessed, and all that is happening is simply the sharing of a blessing. Know your blessings my friends. Good morning everyone!

Love Someone

Feel the spirit, feel the love; loving someone is something we all want, and need. Never mind loving your shoes, your pants, your bag, your skirts or dresses, your PCs, your ipods or cell phones; no matter how important they are, they’re just things that money buys. Love your children, love your heart, love your eyes, love your mother, love your father, love your brothers and your sisters, and love your friends. Love someone special today and you’ll feel better. You can start by loving God if you believe. Good morning everyone!
