JOY

Joy for the new day and joy for the dawn
Joy for the sun as night's curtain is drawn

Joy for the cottages slumbering still
Joy for the mist sitting out on the hill

Joy for the meadow with stream flowing through
Joy for its silvery carpet of dew

Joy for the daffodil, joy for the rose
Joy for the snowdrop that struggles and grows

Joy for the church bells as gladly they ring
Joy we are living and once again sing . . .

. . . Joy for everything!
