Joy makes people happy,
Cheers up people too,
It makes work go faster,
And everything we do!

Watershed
I stepped out and I fell in
The ledge I trusted was too thin
I reached and got my fingers stepped on
I found out I was a pawn
I cannot show my pain to you
Since using others is all you do
But still it hurts me just the same
Like I’m the loser in your game
I see now how I was misled
And know what I will do instead
To let go of the pain I feel
And help the wounds recede and heal

New Year
The turning of a year
New number for each day
A new start now is here
Enter, find a way
The leaving of a year
Year full of joy and pain
So many hard things, fear
More victories won again
The starting of a year
New hope, new doors to find
Fresh slate of time appear
Leave harmful things behind
The ending of a year
So much to, thankful, say
It was worth every tear
To be right here today

New Life
You may not see possibility
In winter’s dried up, frozen ground
Just wait til brave green shoots emerge
Tulips proclaim that spring’s around
The corner – flowering trees are soon
Adorned in fragile pink and white
Then long-awaited leaves emerge
To triumph, bring in summer’s light
So too a struggle, hope, or life
May seem suspended in the cold
The buried seeds still live, beneath
They fight to break through and take hold
The buds will come, the green appear
Though small and slow, they will prevail
And blossom strong in victory
To show the world that said they’d fail
For what you sow is not made alive
Unless it falls to the ground and dies
Deep within hope must always survive
Until it has grown full wings and flies

Mysteries
Fragile with a chance of rainbows
Flat glass somehow bending light
Reflected like blue icy shadows
Create a rainbow just from white
Prism altering life’s sight
Tiny with a chance of greatness
Mere speck somehow growing broad
Blossomed like a trusted promise
Create a flower from sun and sod
Seed sown on the path we trod
Quiet with a chance of power
Small drops somehow making seas
Washed in like unfailing clockwork
Create the tide for centuries
Oceans bring life on their breeze
