CayCay Godwin Poet Quatrain

Joys Strength

I wish to see smiles on your face.
They shall appear by Father’s grace.
As you travel down human miles,
on your face, I wish to see smiles.

May joy reside deep in your heart.
I pray God blesses all you start.
Dark and light both lifelong abide.
Deep in your heart may joy reside.

Stop life from fooling with joy’s strength.
It has an endless width and length.
Pain and joy are same class schooling.
With joy’s strength stop life from fooling.

I long for gleaming feels in you.
Always tell yourself what is true.
All hearts have emotions that store.
Gleaming feels in you, I long for.

Bill Baker August 2, 2025 at 10:18 PM A difficult form used beautifully by you in this poem, CayCay. This is my first visit to your poetry but will not be my last. I paid your poetry a visit because of your comment on Deb M's poem. Authenticity is one of my favorite words and goal in my life. I'll be following your poetry. A poet friend to be, in Texas, Bill
