Joy

By Dawn Oswald


Joy

What brings you joy

What does it mean to you?

Joy can be a new friend

A new job

A new adventure

Don’t be sad

Find a new joy in your life

Buy that new toy

Go shopping

Get that new shining diamond

Or even a new puppy

Remember what gave you joy

Can you remember it?

I remember buying a new puppy

I remember that upgraded diamond

When you’re blue

Think of joy

Joy of my colors

How did you feel?

Did it bring you happiness?

Did you cry with the joy?

Don’t be sad

Think

Think harder

What gave you joy?

What was the moment?

How did it feel?

Remember that time

Relax

Breathe

Get rid of unwanted thoughts

Be joyful

Live for the joy
