A Simple Joy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My heart was weary, my thoughts dark,

As I looked on today,

But, as the morning settled in,

I felt joy on its way.

 

It wasn’t a bold, raucous joy,

It was a simple thing.

The kind of joy that contentment

Is often known to bring.

 

The favorite song stuck in your head,

Or laughter overheard.

It was the kind of joy that comes

From speaking a kind word.

 

I know it won’t amount to much

In life’s overall game,

But it was enough for today.

That’s something, all the same.

 

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
