A Child’s Laughter Parenting Poem

A Child's Laughter
Poem About the Joy of Being a Parent

The sound of your child's laughter
is the sweetest song your heart will ever hear.
Warding off any remembrance of disaster,
all concerns and worries disappear.

Like a spell of healing,
an incantation that breaches the ear,
it leaves you powerless to resist joyous feeling
and makes life's priorities crystal clear.

I wish I could bottle up that innocence
and prescribe its medicine to people of the earth.
For its power on the soul is limitless
and transcends any material worth.

Won't you laugh for me one more time?
Just one more smile, one more look in my eyes?
Oh, wind that shifted my heart's paradigm,
you're the greatest gift, the Divine's greatest surprise.

Frozen Rivers: A Collection of Poems about Mental Health and Nature Poetry About Winter by Justin Farley

My current collections of poetry, all available on Amazon, all written by me, Justin Farley. A Voice in the Wilderness is a chapbook of Christian Poetry, written about the joys, doubts, struggles, and sorrows of the Christian life. Nature’s Bounty is a collection of nature poetry celebrating my love for the outdoors. And Thorns of Love is the first book of three in a series of poems about love, this one being sad, breakup poems.

I have also published two poetry collections about the seasons and mental health–each book containing half nature poems about the particular season and half mental health issues that I felt correspond with the season. The first collection I published was Frozen Rivers which is about winter and also the hardships of life and specifically living with mental illness. My latest book is Blossoms of Hope which focuses on spring and finding hope during hard times.

I write to reach the hearts of the searching, the suffering, the still fighting. I write to soothe my soul and hopefully to soothe yours too. I write to celebrate and attempt to put words to the beauty of life. Here are my published books on Amazon. More to come. A huge, humble thank you to anyone who supports my work.
