What Joy Preserved
When (Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
met Joy Gresham, a Jewess,
he had questioned his faith in God.
She gently proved his doubt was flawed.
Later in his book, …Grief Observed
Lewis writes of what Joy preserved.
Changed by what he had learned of pain,
from his wife who gave him free rein.
for Dr. Ram's contest " Husbands are in
heaven whose wives scold not"
a quatrain with an air of clerihew
I recommend a study of their brief marriage -
C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman Gresham.
