I'm following the joy
Out of my sorrow
I'm choosing to hope
For a brighter tomorrow
I will play now
Remembering
I will smile now
Rejoicing
I can remember now
Without the tears
I can pick the daisies
Enriched by the years
I'm following Jesus
Out of the abyss
Leaving the sorrow for
The joy that is His

Poet's Note:
June 2018, found me wanting to climb out of valley of sorrow. I wrote this with the hope that it would resonate in my soul and I would indeed follow the joy. I have found that most moments of sadness are being crowded out by the presence of joy. They still come, but they don't stay long. Joy has a powerful presence.
