Joy Inside
I am very wealthy, prestigious, and predominant
They all hear me coming, blowing my horn so triumphant
Even as I speak no words, I will shine!
It does occur only in my mind
Because I think and imagine
That it’s really purring, the engine
As for building on to what I am
All I can say is, ‘I’m a ham!’
I participate rather than anticipate
And if I’m called, I go
Whatever might be guiding me
One will never know.
Getting out of the rain
Helps me deal with the pain
And as I seize every moment with vigor
Inside, I can taste the vinegar
That it may not be only me
Who is acting out life soulfully
But rather, an obsessive manifestation
To gain successfully with infestation
Of ideas to put to use
My life seems to be an excuse
Of which to make up rhymes as I go along
Funny how they sound like a song
But I’ve always enjoyed entertainment
To uplift the serious assignment
It enriches the joy still inside
As I travel this wonderful ride
Life! I live it with stride!
