Where The Lilt Of Laughter

Where the lilt of laughter is echoing loud
He is the only sad one in a happy crowd
Sadness can invade the happiest space
Even where laughter abound for it there is a place
For the one who has been forsaken by his wife
Great sadness of late has invaded his life
In his mind for joy there is not any space
Even the laughter of others cannot bring a smile to his face
In the lounge room of the pub the joy it is great
As the football fans a big win of their team celebrate
He sits on a stool as he sips on his beer
His mind it is closed to the laughter of cheer
Not everyone joyful where laughter abound
Even where joy is present one sad to be found.
