You brush my hand with yours, I feel joy.
You lean to whisper in my ear, I hear joy.
You bake my favorite treat, I smell joy.
You show me a different world, I learn joy.
You give me two beautiful children, I cry with joy.
You hug me tightly goodnight, I am filled with joy.
You, my husband give me joy!
You let me chase away your fears, I comfort you with joy.
You let me stroke your hair when harmed, I bring you joy.
You change and grow daily, I surround you with joy.
You sleep beautiful & soundly, dreaming of joy.
You run towards me when we reunite, I smile with joy.
You my children give me joy!
Joy in my life has brought you all to me.
Joy in my life has made me – me.
* Sharing my poem with #ThePrompt & #Prose4T
Ahhhh this so lovely and heartfelt. It’s a very warning to the soul kind of poem xx
Thanks. I just thought I really need to be grateful today for all the joys in my life and stop feeling down and sorry for myself.
Oops i definitely definitely meant “warming” not “warning” 🙂
Beautiful poem putting everything into perspective and how lucky we are as wives and mummies. Best ‘job’ ever x
So true Nicola and today was a great day look at the brighter side and be grateful about what I have.
Such a lovely poem appreciating your husband and children Jenny! X #Theprompt
Thank you so much Sam. Sometimes it’s best to pull myself out of my funk and appreciate the joys right in front of me.
Oh, this is really beautiful, I love how you have described all the simple joys in life. Thank you so much for linking to #ThePrompt and sorry for taking so long to comment and share, the weekend got away from me!
So many joys to be had in the people we love, and a great poem to show that. x
Thank you ever so much Chrissie for stopping by and for your lovely comment.
This is so utterly beautiful Jenny, I love it. It gave me goosebumps which is the sign of a good ‘un to me. I particularly loved the last two lines. Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought 🙂 x
