Joy is a four petaled flower
Understand this to experience joys power:

Just Open Yourself to this truth and know
Then you too will have joy wherever you go.

The first petal is when you start to accept life
When you surrender
letting go of strife.

The next pedal is available to you
When you love everything you are
and do.

The third comes from the world and people
in the external
Joy is always here waiting and playful
it’s eternal.

And lastly it’s spontaneous
seek and you’ll find it’s hiding in plain sight
you’ll see:

A nuzzle from a pet
an unbidden smile
a belly laugh

This is joy –
come share it with me.
