Joy and Happiness

Life was made to care for life Love fulfills a need Joyfulness is your reward When you plant a seed Water it with loving care Watch it grow and bloom Spreading forth a happy glow Filling every room Cultivate your happiness In a special way Take the time for joyfulness Living day to day When you care for those you love Nourishing your soul Something fills an empty place Something makes you whole Joyfulness accumulates Growing year by year Teaching you a better way For a long career When you turn the final page Life has just begun Think of what you leave behind For the joy you won.
