Notes About The Poem

If only we all turned to God, and lived in harmony with nature. finding ourselves in a simple life.

A Joyful Heart

A Joyful Heart.

A joyful heart is blessed
By peace of mind 
And cheery mindfulness
A raised spirit languishing in purity
Focusing on the positives far beyond 
The obscuring trees
And falling branches
That put one ill of ease

Looking for the sun
And not seeing the confounding ominous clouds
Being content
Lost in the moment
Away from the consuming draining crowd

Seeing real beauty in the simplest things
Your spirit soars on angels downy soft wings
And relishing Gods many gifts
That raise you high above 
Feeling his power and his love
Being grateful and appreciative
For what you have got
And not desiring what you have not

Believing in yourself
Grasping faith and trust in the one above
Through  prayer and supplication
With undying love

Being yourself
Not being someone your not
Seeing over the rainbow
Smelling the flowers
Making the most of what time devours

Leading a simple life
Without the snares and slings
What a mad world beyond redemption brings

Helping each other mending broken wings
Radiating love for others
Bringing out the best
Through kindness willingness
And finesse.
