Joyfulness

Withpure delight I dance with glee

Inwishful geniality

Amidstjocund hilarity

Ofmirthful merriment.

 

Besidethe shores of stormy seas

Theneed for laughter beckons me

Tofind the heart of gaiety

Sooften Heaven-sent.

 

Thejaunty joviality of

Simplefools like you and me

Mayseem a triviality,

Butthat would be a lie.

 

Disseminatingcheerfulness

Becomesa never-ending quest

Thatany eye might manifest

Andnone may quick deny.

 

Agiddy gladness buoys hope

That“Gloomy Gus” will learn to cope

Andsavor the kaleidoscope

Thatfills the soul with glee.

 

Andjoy will sing a merry song

Invitingall to sing along

Sohappiness can join the throng

Andset the spirit free.
