Joy

Maybe it exists through everything. Maybe it’s there Like the air we breathe, Unseen, But very real, Life-giving and life-sustaining, Waiting for us to recognize it and Give thanks. Maybe we don’t have to look so hard to find it. Maybe it’s right in front of us, Like the next second on the clock, Unnoticed, But very real, Life-supporting and life-expecting, Waiting for us to recognize it and Give thanks. Maybe we simply need to receive it Because maybe it’s been our gift Since the dawn of creation. And maybe we need also to join it Because maybe it’s best seen When we embody it with skin. So maybe it exists through everything. And maybe we don’t have to look so hard to find it. Because maybe God is Love and Maybe Love is Joy and Maybe both are eternal- -Ly waiting for us to Recognize them, Receive them, Join them, and Give thanks.
