Overjoyed SHM

This love, more than a feeling, it’s twinkling Like the purple blue on a mountain’s hue Or lightest rain, trembling with truth, sprinkling My heart with gentle dreams, yearnings ensue This laughter, more pleasing than morning dew Singing hope to the heart who’s dissuaded Restoring wonder with such a breakthrough Through love this awesome, joy is persuaded This light, brilliant as the sunrise in June Pours out peace, hope and grace throughout this life Because my soul is restored, I’m immune To the darkness of night, worry and strife Due to the love you give so caringly We shall live grateful and unerringly love, laughter, light shift, urging souls to grasp - wealth comes from giving, blessing! love, laughter and light silence the darkest of nights

God called his creation good and gave Adam the task of working and caring for the earth. It is a beautiful earth. "Overjoyed" is just that, Gina you have overjoyed with a Sonnet just as lovely and peaceful. I'm faving it too. Love~Anaya
