A Cup Runneth Over

My cup runneth over I’m dancing each day with delight Calm, carefree in clover Celebrate a cool summer night The beauty of each day Silently sings my soul be still The wisdom and the way Freely fashions my cup to fill Shadows do not scare me Goodness and mercy will follow The valley now will be Where evil is weak and hollow Monumental mountains, Sacred seas - I am just a rover Free forgiveness fountains Ensure my cup runneth over

Thank you Andrea....yes it bubbles with joy. But if we all stop and think about the possibilities, we might all have a similar reaction.
