Joy

It's the Givin' in the Livin'

♥

It's the givin'

In your livin'

That can lead you straight to JOY...

♥

The kind that grabs you

Way down deep

That NOTHIN' can destroy!

♥

The kind that stays

inside you, even

serves to bring you peace

♥

So no matter

What may come your way

You still can have your feast!

♥

Yes, the givin'

In the livin's

What can give you so much more

♥

Than you ever

Would have guessed

Would have been for you in store!

♥

For the more you

live to give,

The more you have to give yet still

♥

For the universe

Just has a way of

Of re-blessin' you until

♥

Your givin' an' your livin'

Can then both just overflow

♥

Till all the livin' in your givin'

Will be clear for you will know

♥

That the more you give, you live

The more you live to give, you grow

♥

Till givin's all your livin' for

And without a doubt you'll know

♥

That it's the givin' in the livin'

That will lead you straight to bliss...

♥

For there's nothing that can

Bring you joy like livin', givin' this:

♥ Blissing Zone ♥

I am so blasted blessed
I don't know what I'm going to do!
If these thoughts keep getting brighter,
Might need this brain upgraded too!

♥

I am so blasted blessed,
I am so blasted blissed, like WOW!
So to handle all this joy inside
Go ahead and clone me now!

♥

Oh, you think my life is perfect?
That I'm talking way too loud
That I shouldn't spout off quite like this
That I'm sounding mighty proud?

♥

Well, let me let you in on
A little nugget that I've found:
It's not what's happening 'round you
That lifts your heart up off the ground,

♥

It's who you are inside you
That will make or break your cage
The world would like to mold you,
Pin you down until you rage,

♥

But only YOU can now decide
What life will mean to you today.
Only YOU can pick your poison,
So pick your thoughts--the ones that pay!

♥

Don't be caught up in the madness
Of a world that often sinks
In futility and hopelessness
Because of bunk it thinks

♥

So go ahead and join me
In my silly little rhymes!
At least we'll give ourselves
The hope to face these frenzied times!

♥

And if enough of us will place
Our focus on the higest good
We'll likely bless ourselves

The more we've finally understood

♥

An' be believin', be receivin' even
Trusting in the good
That can be found in every one of us
When we believe in all we could

♥

Be the best in all our being,
All our being, being so blessed
It's the only way we'll find
To finally be our blessed, our best

♥

Then our hearts can be an anchor,
An oasis, home sweet home
If we'll remember just to treat them
Like what they are--our blissing zone!

♥
