Seeking Joy

Sometimes I need JOY desperately Everywhere I look, I see darkness and despair Even in the places that I go to for comfort Kindness seems to be in short supply Instead there are short tempers and judgement Never the warm enveloping love I need, until I turn to God, who will welcome me every time with unconditional love! Just when I need it the most, Overwhelming peace fills me and I rest in it Yielding the darkness with beautiful light
