Time Of Joy:
Time is a limited dimension,
Each of us apportioned,
Unequally, unevenly,
Our cups at the table filled at random.
We drink our cups in hasty gulps of pleasure,
In cautious sips of measure,
Often not realizing our greatest treasure,
Enjoying the content of the cup we are given.
There is a way to sweeten our cup and those around ours,
Put a drop of love in each moment,
A taste of consideration along with,
A sprig of peaceful tenderness,
Say a kind word with each sip you take.
Add a dollop of smile,
In fact, keep it with you all the while,
Somewhere in time, you've crafted the cup of joy.
Share the recipe openly.
That is accomplishment.
I'm thankful for those I love.
I'm thankful for those I like.
I'm thankful for moments when I make them smile,
When I see in their faces they're happy for awhile.
I'm thankful for the cameo moments.
I'm thankful for the chance to make this world a nicer place.
I'm thankful for each time I manage to fulfill that chance.
May all of you who read this poem, in brief,
Drink from a cup of joy, and give to love your belief.
Be Well.
