Time For Joy

The time has come to give some joy To this sad and depressed world To bring some happiness into hearts Alike to young and old Soft music to lift up the mood And fragrant candles to light up darkness The deep and impenetrable darkness Will light up with joy Bringing lightness to every mood And the spirit of giving to this world Caring for those persons old With the trueness of heart The spirit of this season in the hearts Will demolish all darkness The cheer felt by young and old Will be seen by the passing joy As it spread its cheer in this world Uplifting everyone’s mood This uplifted merry mood Will cheer and brighten every heart Happiness will reign in this world No time for evil darkness To meddle with supreme joy When it shines brightly in the eyes of the old Together we young and old Will cheer away the sad mood Dancing hand in hand with joy With laughter brimming in our hearts Forging away in darkness To diminish it in this world The brighter and better world A safe haven for young and old Life free of all darkness Cheery and merry mood Mellowness and kindness in every heart Bringing to this universe some joy To bring into hearts of this world some cheer The mood out of darkness being uplifted And into life of old some joy is given

Thanks for trying this hard form! I've checked the word order in verses 1-6 looks good! The last 3 lines..you do not end the line with the words the words should be in the midst of the line... world...old...line 1 of the tercet/ ..darkness...mood..line 2/ last line ...heart... joy (different sorces do mix these last three lines word orders up differently on occasion BUT do not let them be the last words of the line..or the first;)
