Healing Laughter & The Gift of Gentle Joy
Verse 1
Ikpọñ odude ke isọn itie,
Etuñ edem ke mmọ itie,
Idem edidem mi ke mime,
Edi akam, edi adịghị ita.
Ufọk enyin enyin ke idak idaha,
Mbubre ke mme idem ke odude.
Verse 2
Idem edidem ama ke ke edi okwu,
Ama ke kpeme utọ idem,
Edi akam, edi akpa ikọ,
Idem mi ke adia itie.
Ikpọñ idem edidem, ifọk ifọk,
Edi akam ke idem, mmọ, na uche.
Verse 1
A gentle laugh at just the right time
Can lift the weight from weary souls,
Clean humor flows like pantomime—
It heals instead of digging holes.
The room grows bright when joy takes flight,
And hearts connect in shared delight.
Verse 2
True wit knows when to speak and when
To guard the tender, fragile heart,
It builds up rather than condemn,
A healing balm, a gentle art.
The gift of laughter, pure and kind,
Brings peace to body, soul, and mind.
