This Feeling Is Joy

Joy comes in many different ways,
It is most certainly not a phase
Sometimes it gets lost in a maze,
sometimes you may not feel it for days
Joy is a feeling you possess,
Don’t stay afraid and let it be expressed
Maybe you laugh like a chipmunk,
Or feel proud after shooting a crazy dunk
Maybe it escapes in tears,-
Or maybe it pops out when you overcome your greatest fears
Mabye you feel it when you achieve a goal,
and find out that’s just the way you roll
Maybe you find out your life’s happy ploy,
This feeling is called joy!
