I Know Joy

On a baby’s smile…

I know Joy!

hope tells me,

of the life I can’t always see.

And once in a while…

two lovers embrace

…and the sight of them lights up my face

and reminds me …

The long walks into the red and orange dusk so free…

and the first time I realized life was mine

I could drink deeply of it’s finest wine

and act like fool yet still be loved.

Always at peace … never shoved.

endless love… yes endless love

from down here to those above.

Though it may hurt from time to time

and my world will slip past it’s prime.

I can see her in all the best places…

captured in the good stuff in endless traces

filling my heart full of love when she visits me

See! oh can’t you see!

The real Mc Coy…

Yes I do….

I know Joy!
