Joy Sonnet

A smile lights the eyes from a joy within.
It’s not a fleeting feeling or notion,
Joy’s there with you, no matter where or when.
It’s a somewhat rare human emotion;
Not all can smile no matter what comes.
And joy is not always easy to have,
Joy is for one who trusts, has peace, and loves;
No matter what happens you still can laugh.
Just like a brook bubbling along the ground,
Merrily going its way over stones,
Not caring about the world all around,
No storm, cold frost, or any wind that moans.
It still is constantly tripping along,
Happy, content, always singing a song.
