LITTLE JOYS
It’s the little joys of life
That make it all worth while
The funny quirky silly things
That bring to light a smile
It’s not about the money
Or the fame good fortune brings
It’s all about how good it feels
When fantasies have wings
It’s not the shiny motor car
Or fancy racing yacht
It’s not the stocks and bonds and shares
Or how much gold you’ve got
It’s special times on certain days
That make you feel alive
When nothing can account for it
But joy just seems to thrive
When all you have is nothing
But each other’s warm embrace
That’s all you need to always bring
A smile to light your face
It’s the little joys of life
That will last from year to year
And the little joys of life
That are always held most dear.
