Sandy Star: Laughing It Out

He had a whim and laughed it out Upon the exit of a chance; He floundered in a sea of doubt-- If life was real--or just romance.

Sometimes upon his brow would come A little pucker of defiance; He totalled in a word the sum Of all man made of facts and science.

And then a hearty laugh would break, A reassuring shrug of shoulder; And we would from his fancy take A faith in death which made life bolder.
