Joy is like a ribbon.

Little kids trick or treating,

dressed up like princesses and Superman.

Hearing the news of an engagement,

smiling ear to ear, eyes glistening,

love glowing.

Candy in class,

sharing skittles,

feeling the sweetness on your tongue.

Chocolate milk,

creamy liquid,

licking your lips.

Starbucks,

pumpkin spice lattees;

falling leaves,

warm tummies.

Being in love,

glistening eyes,

butterflies,

respecting someone precious,

smiling always.

Joy is present.
