Joy

Joy like a hot springs geyser
Springs from deep in my soul
Love like billows over me rolls
Eternal joy that in time grows

Life tries to close the geyser cap
Sometimes energy is sapped
But the joy renews and bubbles
From its deep abode to overflow

Hard to stop that spring of the river of life from one's heart that feeds the soul, A Sara? We all have got one, if all folks would learn how to tap into theirs, what a beautiful world this would be to live in. Thanks for comment past, Sincerely, Love, Moses

How uplifting, Sara! Joy is indeed a renewable resource, just as love is. Keep thinking this way and life will never "close the geyser cap." Great write! Love, Carolyn
