What Is Joy

What brings me joy?
What keeps it in my heart?
What makes me happy?
What is joy?
Is joy a feeling?
Is joy a being?
Can you touch joy?
Can you taste joy?
Where does joy come from?
Joy to me is Leesah
That is my joy.
That is my definition of joy.
Watching her with our children
Brings me joy.
Gazing at her beauty
Brings me joy.
Watching her pray
Brings me joy.
Making love to Leesah
Brings me joy.
Leesah's laughter
Brings me joy.
Her total essence
Brings me joy.
So if I'm ever asked this question:
What is joy?
I'll just say:
Leesah is my joy.
