Joy
You are such an immense joy
A touch like a corduroy
Hair as silky as lingerie
Love as broad as the milky way
Carry on your passions for life
Potential as sharp as a knife
Convert your dreams into substance
Leap past your troubles of a fence
A smile as bright as the moon at the break of midnight
Take your aspirations and begin to expedite
You, as a striking presence in the midst of a setting
A broken and pained existence adjacent nearby you
Will experience their concealed struggles offsetting
The hardships become a commodity that is see-through
