Joy Poem
-Carl Sandburg
Let a joy keep you.
Reach out your hands
And take it when it runs by,
As the Apache dancer
Clutches his woman.
I have seen them
Live long and laugh loud,
Sent on singing, singing,
Smashed to the heart
Under the ribs
With a terrible love.
Joy always,
Joy everywhere–
Let joy kill you!
Keep away from the little deaths.
May today be a day of great joy and hope, and may your ministry and life be full of deep joy even when struggle and heartache come in! I am rejoicing for you and for all you may become.
