A Joy! A Joy!

A joy! A joy! A joy to the world Born October 27th A Joy! A joy! To my baby cousin Of 2 years old What a joy When i see him I smile For he is the new world life He is the world's new innocents When I see him my struggles go away Struggles and pains Which would only Taint that his brightness Which would kill that innocents A joy! A joy! Such innocents as to inspire hope So as to inspire others to bring the same light to the world. So please O Please Keep the gleam in your eye The Gleam that can lead others in the dark And as you do Don’t waste your strengths Don’t waste it on picking the same baggage up every day For if you do It will become yours Weighing you down and down Use that gleam to help others Carefully carry others baggage with them And help them to carry it on their own All so that one day When a new joy New innocents will enter the world You too will appreciate That which you’ve brought to the world
