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.
