JOY Made Speakable

Be a joy, repeat joy, in thy heart's depth,
Thy love, replete love, floweth thy soul's breadth,

His love of God, he'll sacrifice his son,
The joyful knelt, Issac stretched and hugged one,

Forgiveness joyrides bonds a family,
Coat of many hues, Jacob hugs tangly,

Samson felt his judgment being doubted,
Strength returns joyance for heaven's clouted,

Court's glum as Solomon ordered the sword,
Righteous climax joyrode round, praise the Lord,

Little -- Big, Ezekiel hath neither,
Joyous wings of wheel causeth a breather,

Prayers oft said by Jonah the prophet,
Later, raised mouth ... his joyfulness saw fit,

Zaccheus's short stature gifts him sheer will,
Joyrides a sycamore, efforts instill,

Passing smiles of innocence doth proclaims,
Joyridden fruitful thrives, saith St. James,

Maintain thy joys, thy needs not deny,
A kingdom dwells as thy host saw the sky,
