Joy

Joy Watching the sailboats go by without a care in the world gazing at the stars at night after their lights have unfurled Viewing earth from a celestial window keeping an eye on gaping at tiny babies in their infant nurseries calling mom Feasting on nature, flowers, trees, and mountain peaks following love wherever it leads when it lovingly, seeks Eyeing life from a joyful point of view without regret or rue Espying the spark in my lover's eye as he whispers I love you Beholding faith with a clarion soul that trumpets all it entails A mellifluous moment whole as the sun with nothing that ails A hug, a caress , an embrace, tracing the lines of a favorite face Day and weeks of appropriate deeds without a thing out of place What brings me great joy, is sharing time with family and friends Admiring the change of season and being grateful for its extend Being able to go for walks, sing, write , and cook a great meal Owning a contented heart that nothing on this earth can steal.
