Joy

Why do people lose the joy? From the happiness of life And the safety that you’ve builds Now cuts like the edge of a knife And you want to get away from there But your feet is cast in cement And you lose sight of the future And the meaning of what it represents And all do it just wonder Just be alone and wonder why Wondering what to do with your life Now that the joy inside of you has die The nature that is part of life We find no comfort there again Like admiring the flowers Or just walking in the rain Or kicking the leaves in autumn Watching spring from your window Bar be que in the summer Playing in the winters snow And you can’t help from feeling alone Living a life that’s completely empty With loneliness growing inside of you Like the roots of a big old tree Marriage, love affairs, relationships Can come apart at the seem And the life you though you had Was nothing but bad a dream? Joy only comes in your life When two person loves are true And Understanding, respect, caring It what make it sticks like glue? Many homes are built on compromise Thinking in time love will walk in the door But if love is not in the foundation Then it will just collapse to the floor And that can cause temptations And the eyes to stray And open the gates of misery And let wicked elements comes out to play All it takes is one second to destroy What takes years to accomplish And all your blood, sweat and tears Are now just piles of rubbish? Joy is just a three letter word That I think is hardly ever use But it’s the main ingredient missing It’s why people life is so confuse Every one wishes for joy in their life But joy can be very elusive The day I am with the one I love All of my joy to her I will give
