My Joyful Soul
Year twenty-twenty came with cheer-
a brand new decade to unfold;
not bad at all, the first two months,
but- then did tumble, uncontrolled.
Yes, Covid came. Sequestered- I
and family tried hard to cope,
not realizing all these months
would lag between not good- and hope.
But, prayer does have a way to keep
perspective on the way I feel;
through all the ups and downs it helped
to keep my soul on even keel.
When facing things that make me sad
I must dwell on the other side;
what makes me smile and gives me joy
can soon reverse my lowest tide.
Though still not over, on I go;
when I'm discouraged- I just say,
oh thank you, God, that my dear soul
is happy for each brand new day.
My soul uplifts my heart and mind
to still feel joy when life's unkind.
