Joyfulness

With pure delight I dance with glee
In wishful geniality
Amidst jocund hilarity
Of mirthful merriment.

Beside the shores of stormy seas
The need for laughter beckons me
To find the heart of gaiety
So often Heaven-sent.

The jaunty joviality of
Simple fools like you and me
May seem a triviality,
But that would be a lie.

Disseminating cheerfulness
Becomes a never-ending quest
That any eye might manifest
And none may quick deny.

A giddy gladness buoys hope
That “Gloomy Gus” will learn to cope
And savor the kaleidoscope
That fills the soul with glee.

And joy will sing a merry song
Inviting all to sing along
So happiness can join the throng
And set the spirit free.
