Whispering Jubilant Joy

This year I shall try to be delighted and elated
knowing that a life of contentedness I’ve created. 
New roots planted and flourished with glee, 
moments of overjoyed bliss festive and cheery. 
Spirited with uplifting kindness never faded,
blithesome comfort bestowed with guarantee.

I shall walk and talk with grace and exultation
giving onto others a triumphant sensation. 
Satisfied with my soul being mine, upbeat,
with my character in tact never to defeat. 
Shouting in brilliant light with each inhalation,
exhaling with compassion to everyone I meet. 

Believing in myself and others with conviction
can allow my heart to live without restriction. 
Free will should be used positively with ease,
gathering together as hatred and cruelty cease. 
May I sing with certitude devoid of affliction…
whispering jubilant joy in the cool Winter breeze.
