They Smile And Laugh Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

They smile and laugh,

They smile and laugh,
such a poetic joy.

Don't care the least
of what people say.
Opinions don't bother them.

They tell stories of their love,
share the thoughts about kids,
pray and recite a mantra or two.

They want to love till they die,
they want to smile till they die,
they want the closeness till they die.

They touch their skin
and laugh about the wrinkles.

Do you have teeth, they ask,
both together answer ‘no'
and they smile and laugh
again and again and again.

Why do you laugh people ask,
"because elephant does not laugh"
they say and laugh again and again.

They just don't care what others say.

It is the worry of the young and the dull.
