Joy

Kids saying The Pledge just before being interned in WWII

Let’s go out and spread some joy,

 to make each other’s spirits buoy.

Do some favors if you will,

 help someone their dream fulfil.

Smile at all with whom you meet,

 make their path a happy street.

Dig deeper when the hat is passed,

 know that hard times cannot last.

Compliment the smallest things,

 and see the joy that it brings.

Lift up those who fall behind,

 help the poor, the sick, the blind.

Do not fear another’s view,

 take care with the words you spew.

Teach the young to make their way,

  always have good words to say.

There’s prob’ly stuff I have missed.

 but I hope you’ll get my gist.

There’s simple tools you can employ,  to bring the world some needed joy.
