Happiness and Joy

Never will another season bring so much joy A feeling of love, togetherness and happiness Ring out them festal bells and let’s be jolly A savior was born, condescended, we are happy We go to church, offer praise most joyful Screams of delight, Children playing happily Lovers holding hands gazing happily At the beautiful sites, mountain's peaks, rivers of joy Birds singing sweetly in the air, their songs so melodious and joyful Every home, through their windows flowing sounds of rapture and happiness The drunk on the street had one wish to make him happy Give me some rum, he said, that will make me good and jolly I played this song last night and it is so fitting, for the topic says Joyful, Joyful It’s the season of good cheer, a time to give, to dance, to eat and be jolly Only you can determine your level of happiness To give of your means it is easy, but to give of yourself many cannot do this happily Give without grudge, with no intention to receive, that's how giving becomes a joy To exercise these gems will cleanse the soul; give warm feelings, make us happy Laughter in the trees, laughter in the breeze, season of laughter, everyone is happy Gift for baby, gift for mommy, gift for daddy, even the cats and dogs had to be joyful What the world craves, so elusive for some, thank God in His love, we find great joy Come one come all let’s jump on the bandwaggon, riding the coach called Super Jolly The invitation is out, don’t settle in doubt, cast off your cares, ride with us, happily Great people great love, warmth, sharing caring, all things good gives you happiness Take friends, co-workers and fellow poets, toss in this great soup pot of happiness Recycle love, make this world wonderful, song writer says, ‘don’t worry, be happy’ The world needs people who are positive, will see the best in others happily A smile, a word of cheer, a few words of encouragement, make another’s day joyful ‘Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way’, what good is that if we are not jolly The Lord has come, so unto this world be peace, love, and most important of all, joy There is truth and beauty in the person with happiness, looking radiant and joyful I would give my money just to be happy, to see my loved ones and friends real jolly Luxury of life I would trade off hapilly, to have the thing the world craves for, joy

OK, I know I strayed away from the rules of the Sestina form, but I did that on purpose. I want to use all the words thats been used , but to do the form correctly I would have to omit some, so I could get all the stanzas and lines in. So, I guess this is an abbreviated version of the Sestina. I am all for not playing by the book, when it suits me. LOL
