Joy

Joy is something sweet, like lollipops.
They're something you want to last forever.
Joy is something you want to express to others, you can't hide it.
Imagine life without joy, it would be such a dull place.
Joy is yellow in colour, and it smells like sweet lemons and apple pie.
When you look up, you will see the sun smiling down on you and the clouds dancing for you.
Joy is a dance, let others dance with you. It's no fun dancing alone.
When you feel joy, nothing can make you sad. Nothing at all.
Joy is a bubble, don't let it pop.
If there's a brick wall in your way, knock it down. Push through it.
It's better to give than to receive.
Helping others who need it can make you good inside.
That's what joy is like to feel.
It's all warm and fuzzy.
Joy is a happy feeling, it makes you want to smile.
