Joy

Drizzling little joy,

In another corner, little end.

The impending dark cloud,

Will move away.

Little rain, if falls,

Will make you happy, just stay.

And if it’s the dawn you wait for,

It will break through the sky

Bringing some hope

Some light, some life.

Water your lilies,

Peonies and orchids.

Tie them in a neat bunch,

And send it to my address.

The dew of the rain,

On those freshly plucked flowers,

The smell that they carry,

And their magical powers.

Aim for your wishes,

But do something, too.

Come up with hopes,

That won’t come true.

Smile at the disappointment,

If things don’t fall through.

Don’t get disheartened,

The rainbow’s coming soon.

Smile and open that book of joy again,

There’s another story,

A new happy end.

Just the turn the page,

And change the tune to another one.
