All His Life

In all his life
his greatest enjoyment
was evoking a laugh or a smile

a reaction to a line
a response to a handful of words

to know the joy of the comedian
the worth of the writer

is life fulfilled

a wonderful experience
when

expressions leave impressions
carried forward
beyond the now

making yourself a memory
in someone else's life.
