A Rejoicing Heart

A rejoicing heart is full of gladness Singing mirthful songs of joy and peace Casting away the doldrums of sadness Granting the soul a brand new lease Loving the sounds of mellow chimes Vibrant tones of symphonic voices The melodic flow of pastoral rhymes Beautiful chords of musical choices A rejoicing heart finds blessings within Knows the meaning of inner serenity Looks beyond the daily taint of venal sin Shares the inner rapturous symphony With others, and grows the expansive role That nurtures and magnifies the soul.

There is nothing as exuberant as a "rejoicing heart" - so I loved this one.

The last two lines really move me. I like the symphonic crescendo making its way to the end as well. Enjoyed, Gershon

Thanks, Gershon. You can borrow them anytime you like (with attribution, of course!) LOL

Thanks so much, Ilene. I was having lunch in the park, and this one just seemed to flow out of me. I appreciate your read and your kind comment.
