Joy Profound
Joy comes to mind
To help me see
With heart made kind
To sense beauty.
Joy comes to heart
To help me feel
With mind that starts
To know what heals.
Sorrow brings pain
To help me love
The path of gain
Sent from above.
Sorrow brings quest
To seek new hope
In surge of zest
So I may cope.
Joy and sorrow,
Sorrow and joy --
No need to borrow,
Hurl, play and toy.
Sorrow and joy,
Joy and sorrow --
Fate now deploys,
Sings tomorrow!
Joy fills my heart
With bliss profound;
Ambrosia starts,
Stakes fond new grounds.
Sorrow melts mind
In pain that grows;
Bitter gall binds,
Weary pain shows.
Blessings now pour
Joy plus sorrow
Here at my door:
Life just follows.
Blessings now fling
Sorrow plus joy
As fate now slings
Fond play, wise ploys!
No need to fear
Or be afraid
For grace lives here
Despite the dread.
