The Joy That Eludes Us


Babies and Kittens come by it naturally
Everything is new and exciting
Those little things that catch their attention
And gives them Joy

But age and responsibility
Tragedy and pain
Abuse and neglect
Hides that Joy

Life gives us so much
But circumstances take away
The beauty around us gives us hope
But the turmoil inside denies us Joy

Finding balance
Gives us a chance
But finding balance in an uneven world
Can tilt the scales of Joy

Even when we have the answers
The faith that takes us through
We relentlessly slip back in time
We're eluded once again of the Joy

With each day we have a new beginning
Full of endless possibilities
But only by looking forward and not back
Can we find the Joy

It won't be easy
It starts with the simple things that catch our attention
Through a word, or deed or action
Can we once again find our Joy
