Happy Poetic Asides

 

Happiness and Joy

 

Happiness and Joy

strolled down the same road.

Happiness skipped

and whirled about.

Joy asked, “What makes you

so energetic today?”

 

Happiness replied,

“A smooth road, fun times,

good food and friends,

sunshine and buttercups.

What makes you so strong

every time I see you?”

 

Joy replied,

“Love, acceptance, forgiveness.

Knowing I’m in the Creator’s family.

I like sunshine and buttercups,

but I don’t need them to thrive.”

 

Happiness twirled about,

“I like you, Joy,” Happiness said,

“Because when I’m weak,

you help me become strong.”
