Joy is a touch to a lonely hand<\/p>\n
More meaningful if it isn\u2019t planned<\/p>\n
Joy is the wetness of a puppy\u2019s nose<\/p>\n
The dew on the petal of a fragrant rose<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the sound of a lazy meandering stream<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the waking from a magical dream<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the sun breaking through on a bright spring day<\/p>\n
Keeping negative vibes at bay<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the hope in a prayer on a dark stormy night<\/p>\n
Restoring our strength in life\u2019s long fight<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the understanding when problems are tough<\/p>\n
The calm that follows when seas are rough<\/p>\n
It\u2019s love and support for a loved one whose ill<\/p>\n
More healing than any potion or pill<\/p>\n
A voice bringing comfort on the end of the phone<\/p>\n
Assuring you that you\u2019re never alone<\/p>\n
Joy is the smell of new mown grass<\/p>\n
Following a winter that\u2019s over at last<\/p>\n
There\u2019s joy in the feel of fresh fallen snow<\/p>\n
In children\u2019s faces alive and a glow<\/p>\n
There\u2019s joy in the trust of a lifelong friend<\/p>\n
In the knowledge that the closeness will never end<\/p>\n
Joy is 2 lovers holding hands<\/p>\n
Embracing the future and making plans<\/p>\n
There\u2019s joy in finding new ways to cope<\/p>\n
And being safe in the knowledge<\/p>\n
There is always HOPE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
