Joy is a touch to a lonely hand
More meaningful if it isn’t planned
Joy is the wetness of a puppy’s nose
The dew on the petal of a fragrant rose
It’s the sound of a lazy meandering stream
It’s the waking from a magical dream
It’s the sun breaking through on a bright spring day
Keeping negative vibes at bay
It’s the hope in a prayer on a dark stormy night
Restoring our strength in life’s long fight
It’s the understanding when problems are tough
The calm that follows when seas are rough
It’s love and support for a loved one whose ill
More healing than any potion or pill
A voice bringing comfort on the end of the phone
Assuring you that you’re never alone
Joy is the smell of new mown grass
Following a winter that’s over at last
There’s joy in the feel of fresh fallen snow
In children’s faces alive and a glow
There’s joy in the trust of a lifelong friend
In the knowledge that the closeness will never end
Joy is 2 lovers holding hands
Embracing the future and making plans
There’s joy in finding new ways to cope
And being safe in the knowledge
There is always HOPE
