We find joy in different

Situations and it is not

Always the same. There

Is the happy joy when you

Win a game or find a dollar.

Then the silent joy for just

Making it through a day.

In the garden some plants

Excel while others barely make it.

You can sense the kind of

Joy which is presented there.

We all want success with

Hope of finding joy when

We achieve it. Giving to others

And making them happy adds

To our joy. When we know

What to expect and are ready

For it a certain amount of joy

Permeates our inner being.

Life can be complicated and

When we handle all the bumps

And curves we are satisfied and

This leads to unfathomable joy.

Sunshine is wonderful but we

Also need rain. Both may bring joy.

When working in the garden

I look for little things which

Cause enthusiasm in my soul.

I am brought to delight and

Knowing that I am not alone,

I watch for bees and other

Insects as they do what they

Do in the garden. Pollination

Is up to them unless the wind

Is strongly blowing. Then the

Insects take cover and I find

Myself alone thinning plants

And pulling weeds it may

Sound dull but with the right

Attitude is exciting and peaceful

Soon the garden turns into a

Gem. Many colors come together

Forming a palette of color which

Would make most artists wonder.

My idea is not to make a masterpiece

But just a balanced presentation

Which will make the angels smile.

Seasons pass and changes do also.

What was once, is no longer. It is

Similar and what is given to be

Worked over and brought to fruition.

Joy abounds.
