To Ease the Passing of Time

Joy is one of life’s most precious gifts.

It is like a stream of fresh and clear water that flows into your heart and soul.

Joy is the gentle breeze in the trees.

It is the wind that makes the ripples on the surface of a lake.

Joy is what brings everything to life.

Joy makes you laugh for no reason, just for the fact that you are together and happy to be together.

Joy is light.

Joy lifts you up in the sky like a balloon.

Joy puts stars in your eyes.

Joy is what makes you feel like hugging and dancing.

You may be happy because you have everything to make you happy, and have no joy.

And you can have none of the things that are supposed to make you happy, and still have joy.

Sometimes it takes only a few words to make your joy go away.

Everything is the same, you do the same things, but there is no longer joy in the things that you do.

Joy is fragile and you have to be very gentle with it.

Joy is like a timid and scared little cat that keeps coming to your door for food and affection.

If you scream at him or talk to him too loud, it will go away and may never come back.

But just like a scared and lonely little cat, where there is true love, joy will always come back, no matter what.
