Six candles on your birthday cake
We have many more wishes to make
On this day, let there be endless fun
With days of fairy tales creeping in
Toddler to preschooler to schoolgirl
Let the year ahead be more joyful
You are moving ahead with time
I won't get a chance to go back in time
But I swear, to put my greeting in rhyme
I am sure, now you can read and write
Cheer with rainbow colours so bright
From scratches to sketches, you moved on
To draw the figures of your choice
Oh! Saanvi, it is gala time for us to rejoice.
Some things in life one must not shirk
Heal things that drive the mind bezerk
Relieve a long time personal quirk
Arising, past deep shadows lurk
Creates a doleful hazy murk
Dig deep to find a joyful perk
With daily prayer to make self love work

Meditation on the 3rd Joyful Mystery:
The Birth of Jesus Christ
In the days of Herod, Jesus Christ was born
(In a manger forlorn)
Since there was no descent lodge available
(Our Lord was born in a stable)
This is the 3rd Joyful Mystery – The Birth of Jesus Christ
That solemn night, angels invited shepherds to come to the newborn baby
(Who will shepherd humanity)
And a bright star guided three wise men to the infant
(Kingly gifts unto Him they would grant)
The fruit of this mystery – Love of the Poor
Oh God who had made flesh the Word divine
(Our Savior oh so fine)
The God who became man, the man who became God
(Who shall rule all the nations with the iron rod)
As “The Birth of Jesus Christ” had shown “Love of the Poor”
Lord God, like in “The Birth of Jesus Christ”, we want to love the poor
(This is a way unto Thee for sure)
Like Jesus – the King who had lived in poverty
(But rules mankind for eternity)
Praise God! We realized “Love of the Poor” through the 3rd Joyful Mystery.

Meditation on the 2nd Joyful Mystery:
The Visitation
Blessed Virgin Mary came to Elizabeth, her cousin
(A blessing from the Virgin)
Both women were pregnant at that time
(What a moment sublime)
This is the 2nd Joyful Mystery – The Visitation
When Mary gave Elizabeth her greeting
(The child in her womb was leaping)
Happy, indeed, were their children
(Filled with the Spirit were both women)
The fruit of this mystery – Love of Neighbor
Oh God who had blessed those women
(Those women who were His chosen)
The God who blesses His Chosen Ones
(His blessed daughters & sons)
As “The Visitation” had shown “Love of Neighbor”
Lord God, like in “The Visitation”, we want to love our neighbor
(Teach us that way through our Savior)
Like Mary who is blessed among all women
(We want to be Thy blessed children)
Praise God! We realized “Love of Neighbor” through the 2nd Joyful Mystery.

Meditation on the 1st Joyful Mystery:
The Annunciation
Archangel Gabriel came to Mary
(For she is worthy)
And this Angel of God made a proclamation
(The good news of salvation)
This is the 1st Joyful Mystery – The Annunciation
That good news was the coming of our Lord
(The Savior of the World)
Whom Mary would bear by the power of the Holy Ghost
(Lord of Heavenly Host)
The fruit of this mystery – Humility
Oh God who had sent His Messenger to Mary
(For the love of humanity)
The God who would bring us salvation
(On every generation)
As “The Annunciation” had shown “Humility”
Lord God, like in “The Annunciation”, we humbly submit to Thy will
(And to Thee we worship & kneel)
Like Mary we listen to Thy message
(Of redemption to every age)
Praise God! We realized “Humility” through the 1st Joyful Mystery.

joyful jubilant Santa and Rudoph too
Love it that tonight the sky is blue
It looks like calm weather for Christmas Eve
They are dancing in happiness, glad to believe
It is fun to see them in spirits so high
Before they take their red sleigh up into the sky
they are giddy with excitement, glad weather is mild
Easier tonight to delight every believing child
This mind seems to be spinning
My steps get a bit unsteady
Your gestures of kindness never seem to end
My stomach filled up with butterflies
I've never felt more alive
Space between us feels unnatural;
I desire you in my arms
to caress your face in my hands
And admire you under sparkling stars
Beautiful smile, beautiful eyes
Your soul is majestic
I could go on forever describing how lovely you are
Your respect and honor bring me comfort
My trust now learns to stay with you
joyful woman had as many problems as others, maybe more
but she did not allow them to get her down, looking for a poor-me-door
She knew how to dance, and she did it exceedingly well
shaking her problems loose, at every dip, twirl and swell
She looked toward a new horizon, expecting good to come her way
Enthusiastically encouraging revitalization and positivity every day
joyful woman had many problems, on which she chose not to dwell
staying away from others who were determined to stay in a private hell
He plays flute while passing my door :
Mellifluous tune welcomes
me just to respond song of path !
Harmonic cadence allures.
Mesmerised to break stagnancy.
Music of path resonates.
a slender reed awakes at dawn
notes ascend, chasing the sun
remembering when it was young
joyful, running free, barefoot~
flute forgets it ever knew weight
of being a piece of wood
I wish I could be joyful she said
“There’s a dragonfly!” said I.
She did not look.
“A luna moth!” I yelled.
She continued to grouse.
“A lightning bug!” I cried out.
I am easy to please.
So many things bring me joy
Shiny things
faeries, frogs, damselflies,
Jewelry, a child’s smile
“there’s the north star!” I said.
She walked away, determined to not be joyful.
We nurture brains, which develop and shape lives.
We work with passion, which builds a strong foundation.
We foster growth, which makes it worth.
We make learning joyful, which empowers learners to be successful.
We are lesson turners, which produces lifelong learners.
Your absence brings me joy.
Your presence isn't missed.
I am happier now.
I want to forget you exist.
I thought our friendship was meaningful
Until you decided to split.
Well it really is your loss
Because I realize that to me,
You never meant ****.
I am happy making memories with my new friends.
I am not sorry that you were replaced.
I just wish every happy memory we had together
Could be erased.
I am not sorry, if that makes you upset.
I have not a single regret.
Next time I see you.
I will pretend we never met.
I will avoid you like a disease.
I won't look at or talk to you
Even to say "Bless you" when you sneeze
You made the mistake when you threw me away
I am better off without you.
Now I'm joyful every day.
Let’s raise a glass to the past
Then toast to the future
Living life day to day the way
To create a life of meaning
Dreams are grand
Action is the plan
Leads to joyful living
Powdered doughnuts, screaming children,
Noisy autos and a silly red hen,
All the things everywhere, that, this, and then.
A week or a day, a minute, and an hour,
Everything all the time, candy that is sour.
The moon and stars and universe too,
All things everywhere, everything for you.
Big trucks, toy cars, tall buildings in our view,
Twilight, baseball, even morning dew.
Mountain tops, puppy dogs, yummy ice cream floats,
Bicycles, lollipops, Cutesy-colored post-it notes,
All things everywhere, everything I want for you.
