Letters to Michael - a visionary novel

The Afterlife
can be Heaven or Hell,
depending on your beliefs
as two members of the
same family discover when
they both experience death.
 
"A thoroughly good read"

Prepare to cry and laugh out loud
and feel good all over.

Laughter Is The Greatest Cure-All

Laughter's uplifting sound always works for me;
giggling children are a most refreshing sound;
rip-snorting, knee-slapping and guffawing adults,
gut-busting, side-splitters knocking you to the ground.

I've been a comedy-lover for longer than I can remember;
I'm tickled pink and full of delight at jokers' fun and games.
As a child, I hid to secretly listen to the comedians of old;
Groucho, Gleason, Skelton, Stooges are a few of the names.

Only the grown folks were allowed to hear them tell their tales
hilarious, but a wee risqué, were those old comedians of fame.
My younger siblings once caught me with ear against the door;
wasn't long after hearing what I heard, life was never the same.

When all our laughing and excitement calmed, we formed a pact;
but, speaking in between snickering kept our tears rolling down.
They pledged secrecy on one condition: they'd get to listen, too.
Together as one and ever using laughter to cure tears of a clown.
