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.
