Taking Joy

One can take joy as eyes glow and sparkle One can take joy in smiles for no reason Wish I could throw a bolt of love At the residents of this city, this city, this state, this country,this world Life is a privilege together we can partake of the banquet As stars come out at night and the summer draws slowly to a close Let us taste the sweet wine of love, of sex, of nature, of joy As you enjoy the fruits of life touch the reality you may have missed in your younger, more hasty days

We fail to take the joy of everyday living and as we grow older we begin to relax more and not be so hasty. Great advice. love phyl
