Joy

Joy is to be
A child at Xmas
Or an old soul in love,
Joy brightens all else and
Anticipation kept keen
Smiles from us and
Though Christmas
Or Hanukkah
Passes for
Another
Year
The
Joy
Of
Love
Endures
Each new day we
Share our lives hopes
Dreams with another who
Reciprocates our joy so
We both smile at each
Other for no openly
Apparent reason
Other than joy
At giving and
Receiving
From our
Other
Half.
And,
Baby makes
Three or more
Safe in a happy
Home with some
One who cares
More for them
Than for their
Own self
And so
Finds
Joy.
