Blessed are those whose joy is to give joy, And be the gold that would base thoughts alloy, The music that would silent souls sustain. Blessed are those whose joy is to give joy, Who would, in times of need, their hours employ In cheerful labor for another's gain, Whose love of life would cloud-bound spirits buoy And hearty sun black thunderheads destroy, Giving flooded fields relief from rain. Blessed are those whose joy is to give joy. Yet some would denigrate such souls with coy Hints of poor self-image and self-blame, Saying they would cloud-bound spirits buoy To buy their love. Such goodness is a ploy To garner the self-love they seek in vain. But can't you feel the joy in giving joy And bless the love of life that spirits buoy? Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
