Joy
Joy wears a smile in stillness clear,
Love marks calm style with faith not fear.
Hope comes to fill these sacred grounds,
Peace mellows thrill where love is found.
Cheer fits your face if you must know,
Dare feel fond trace of joy that shows.
Come let us greet each day with grace,
Love makes things sweet in time and space.
Be good to all in journey quest,
Purge bitter gall and live love's fest.
Each man must face troubles and pains,
Love offers grace in loss or gain.
Live with a heart that helps you heal,
Love is the art that spreads goodwill.
Dance on this trip with spirits high,
Don't let hate rip what terror plies.
Strange is the man who kills for fun,
Love's sacred plan wins the long run.
So do not fear the body's death,
Live love sincere in each new breath.
Our time is brief on earthly plains,
Love swallows grief to end all pain.
