Joy

Joy is everywhere.
It is so prevalent in fact,
You can only try to turn your back against it,
And walk away.
But this won't work,
Because joy will track you down,
And trap you in your own laughter,
At a baby's giggle or a friend's joke.
Joy pervades even the sad times of our lives.
The death of a loved one brings back fond memories,
And funny stories. 
God made joy limitless,
So Go must want it so.
