Joy



I wanted to be happy.

I worked for it in vain,

for happiness is not the goal,

and, so I tried again.



I wanted to be helpful.

And, so I got involved.

I felt inside an inner pride.

My problem had been solved.



For joy comes through service.

Improved through constant prayer.

Serving others serves Him best

and happiness is there.
