Belly Laugh

When I count the minutes till I get to sleep again

Like I count the calories of everything I’m fed

And everything I used to be is the best I’ve been

I imagine each and every hair on my head

I remember what I have that’s made for dreams 

I remember what feeds my soul and makes me feel free

I count the belly laughs and everything in me that gleams 

The seasons and their changing leaves

Because I laugh so hard I cry, but that doesn’t mean I’m sad

Because I laugh so hard it hurts, but that doesn’t make it bad

I thank the rain for rainbows and dark skies for every star

Just shows me the good from the bad isn’t very far.
