My Song is Joy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m keeping my thoughts on the leaves,

Autumnal in their shade,

And on the patchwork quilt of joy

That their falling has made.

 

I’m keeping my thoughts on the stars

That burst across the sky

The frozen crystals of delight

That You have taught to fly.

 

I’m keeping my thoughts on the grass,

Tipped white with the first frost

And how it sparkles in the sun

Like diamonds of great cost.

 

The world was not an easy place

For me to face today,

So I am keeping focused on

The joy that came my way.

 

I will not let the stormy seas,

That tossed me all day long,

Set the rhythm or the tone

Of what should be my song!

 

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
