Jump for joy, not my knees,
but in the Spirit with ease.
Jump for joy, Hallelujah!
View King of glory with awe.
Jump for joy all my days.
Floodgates of heavenly praise.
Though the flesh is weak,
in quiet & quickened hymns I speak.
Jump for joy, my shadow all,
then with faithful love I fall.
I bend, I bow - His glory seek.
A little thing - my knees do creak.
Jump for joy! Jump for joy!
Kind women, strong men, each girl & boy…
Spiritual circuits of fellowship,
loving each other, each in Christ’s grip.
Our songs like deep rivers of turquoise.
Our hearts overflowing with rejoice.
jealous of
a morning walk
pleasantries
underneath
sun- rise and set
jealous of
painlessness
yet muscle
ache
oh i’d take
jealous of
going, going,
gone
out all day
pulling
my weight
jealous of
watching
so effortlessly
the jaunt
of travelers
jealous for
the blessings
given
for all these years
I’ll hope for fix
so others jealously will watch
me effortlessly with my slow gait
i’d settle for mostly pain free
i’d jump for joy but carefully
Betty was muched delayed
said she came from play
hadn't heard the news
Wistful and loose with her one eyed plan
If she had a talisman from the sea
she'd jump for joy
Going to ride on a galloping horse
cause she has a lot to say
yet hadn't the time to choose
going to see the porcelain man
and tell of her erstwhile plans
of feeling freer than before
The boat of Joy,
And that of Sorrow,
Over
The tempestuous seas of tears,
Endlessly navigate!*

* Whether we jump for joy or sorrowful we are, we cry!
Let's jump for joy, the weekend's here at last,
I must forget my work worries and strife.
We'll head to the beach, I've checked the forecast. -
I can just unwind and enjoy my life,
being with our kids and my lovely wife.
The pressures of work sure can take their toll,
family time truly uplifts my soul.
Building sandcastles, paddling in the sea,
taking time out, an achievable goal.
Precious moments with all the family!

Intermittent spring rain
has dressed mother nature
in her Sunday best;
all is young and beautiful.
A lingering rainbow
hangs steady.
Petrichor wafts
in the noontime breeze
as white butterflies
float about carefree.
Bumblebees flit and buzz
around the wildflowers
and hordes of grasshoppers
erratically jump for joy.
A joyous day of renewal
in the green valley.

It's the small things that make us happy.
It's the small things that make us sad.
It's the small things that make us glad
when we don't know it's coming.
So why do we want the big things, when the small is just as good.
The bundle of joy in our hearts, could not stay if we had a big thing.
If you receive a gift and it's small, jump for joy. For no greater thought
went into it's making, then the King from above.
The boat of joy
and that of sorrow
over
the tempestuous seas of tears
endlessly navigate!*

*Either we jump for joy or sorrowful we are- we cry!
Pleasant greetings June,
You bring with you the rise
Of a new brimming full Strawberry Moon
The last full moon of spring.
Amid your warmest longer days
And the shortest nights, you introduce
The summer solstice the first day of summer.
You make the children jump for joy
(Yay, School is out!)
A time of infinite fun.
Romance inspires cozy night
Endow with poetic charm
Under the flickering magical moon.
You bring with you, the fickle gaiety
Among the rhythm of the cricket's chirps,
Frogs croaking after a refreshing rain,
Pecking of the woodpecker,
Cooing of the mourning dove,
And mocking chirps of the mockingbird.
You brighten the world with luxuriant engrave gardens
Cascading soothing and calming fragrant blooms.
However,
You only bring the fun for a little while
Then it's gone,
As Autumn comes like a thief in the night
And steal you away..

Blue Barrel Blue Barrel you got me over you
Fraudulent extravagant
How much you want to bet
Winners odds surround it by Cannonballs
Jump for joy
Boxes of toy if batted and overjoyed
Dark chocolate caviar based in olive oil
Reese's Pieces, Kit Kat and Almond Joy
tis a pleasure doing business with you
... Beastie Boys
Shopping at The Bargain Basement second hand storesl'
Help them, help us all Lord

Jump for joy
Live your life
Believe your truths
Listen to your heart
She knows
In Aussie-land dwell the marsupials
By night they paint the town connubial
They make them a joey
Named Zoey or Chloe
Neighbors jump for joy indubitable
¨dreams ¨
everyones dreams seem so productive.
makes me feel like mine are so small.
not a big accomplishment to everyone.
not something i can hang up on a wall.
if i show you what i've made of myself you wouldn't jump for joy. it's not a degree,
does not come in a certificate,
so how would i show it to you?
if my dreams dont come on paper will you still be proud?
It's incumbent upon me to lighten your day
I take it quite seriously in this creative cafe
Not no fancy poeteer
A simple vagabondeer
Friends jump for joy aboard my happiness sleigh
Seashells oh seashells laying on the riverbank
You fill my eye's with content
The way you lay there looking all mighty
As the breeze brushes over your shell
Flowing water dance's on the riverbank
As the cranes fishes for a bite
The sound of waves beating against they beaks
Can creates melodies that'll make you feel relief
Crabs marches out on a morning stroll
With no intention of making friend or foe
Burn the river scenery into your mind
For the sunsets once in everyday
And you can feel free by just staring into space
Rocks rumble as engane boats passes by
As the kids jump for joy hearing tales of pirates who once sail the sea
Oh riverbank you complete us
For we have no where else to go when feeling sad and low
Just staring at our reflecting can calm us down
Riverbank only you knows our struggle
