A Poem of Joy!

Sing me a new song,
and let us dance with glee;
Come paint me a rainbow,
and remind me that I’m free!

Hug me and kiss me,
and let us dance for joy!
Declare this a new day,
in triumphant voice.

For my heart can’t contain
such a feeling of bliss,
For my heart cannot ponder
what has come from abyss.

In the spur of a moment,
in the blink of an eye,
all that’s before us is gladness,
all around is delight!

There’s a shower of blessing,
there’s a pouring of light.
There’s a flooding of flowers,
in a world that is bright.

Had I lived before,,
I have never really lived.
For today is the day,
that I have learned how to live!

I will give of my all,
I will share what is mine.
I will search all the earth
to make love yours and mine.

God has blessed me indeed,
God has blessed you and me,
For once I was blind,
but now I can see!

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Hello!

Great Poem. I love these lines:
“There’s a shower of blessing,
there’s a pouring of light.
There’s a flooding of flowers,
in a world that is bright”

These lines speak of the world being a bright place, which is pretty much the antithesis of what one usually hears….which is what I love about it! Good Job

Thanks, Keith! An author feels really honored when somebody remembers a line she wrote, moreso to be able to repeat it. 😉 I’ve just visited your blog and added your feed to my reader so I could keep in touch.

Lovely poem and it feels lovely to read it this morning as I celebrate the 4th of July and feeling great…love is the journey!

Been awhile, glad to be reconnected Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post.

Joy, this poem was full of energy, also well illustrated by the picture you chose. I wonder where you were or what you were doing when you were inspired to write this. 🙂

@Davina – Hello, Davina! Surprisingly, I don’t remember what I was doing at all when I wrote this poem. I guess what was happening “within” far surpassed what happened in the external that time. I’ve had moments like that, when as though from nothing, no event or particular outside object or person causing it, I felt a certain kind of joy and peace within me. 😉 God’s shower of love, I believe.
