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
