THE POEM 'JOY CHOSE YOU"

 

The POEM we will journey with for 21 days



Joy Chose You 

Joy does not arrive with a fanfare

on a red carpet strewn

with the flowers of a perfect life.


Joy sneaks in

as you pour a cup of coffee

watching the sun

hit your favourite tree

just right.


and you usher joy away

because you are not ready for her

your house is not as it should be

for such a distinguished guest.


But joy, you see

cares nothing for your messy home,

or your bank balance

or your waistline.


Joy is supposed to slither through

the cracks of your imperfect life

that’s how joy works.


You cannot truly invite her

you can only be ready

when she appears

and hug her with meaning

because in this very moment

joy chose you.
