Have you ever noticed when you look around the world…
It doesn’t matter what country…what language…what name…
there is this worldwide phenomenon…how all babies laugh the same?
It matters not what nationality…if that baby is a girl or boy…
in their laughter we hear sweet innocence…we are witnessing pure joy.
Yes, no matter where that baby lives…from Pakistan to Peru
when we see and hear a baby laugh…we find ourselves laughing too.
Which makes me wonder, since laughter is contagious
And can be found everywhere…
If laughter, like love, is a universal language…
one we’re all meant to share.
But perhaps you’ve also noticed when you look around the world
It doesn’t matter what country, what language…what name…
another worldwide phenomenon…how all babies cry the same.
The big difference is how we react…
how we work hard attempting…trying…
to keep those babies who are laughing…laughing
and to stop those babies who crying…from crying.
Perhaps you’ve also noticed how our love, our acceptance, our kindness and our joy
keep our babies laughter flying….
while our prejudice, our hate and our wars..
keep our babies crying.
I pray one day the adults in this world will understand
as each day passes by…
how the world moves forward anytime we make our babies laugh
and backward every time we make them cry.
