Joy, Pt. 1

Remember your heart: it is a candle

When your mind’s turning dark with thoughts you can’t handle

You can’t hold onto light; we’re in a wheel that keeps turning

But when day turns to night your heart will keep burning

Through laughter and heartache, promise and pain

Through growth and depression, miscarriage and shame

Lives woven together, or torn through by divorce

We can’t stop the wheel from turning or alter its course

But mama, could you tell me that everything returns to JOY?
