"Weeping may endure for the night, butJoy cometh in the morning,"

~ Psalm 30:5 - KJV

Joy may occur IF we go about our daily business with a determination to do what we must do with full, uncomplaining acceptance of responsibility. A necessary co]mponentof this is always to be determined to GIVE freely MORE than you GET. To exercise CONSIDERAGTION for what OTHERS may be feeling. To set aside yor own worries, heartaches and anxieties, and meet others with genuine curiosity about them and concern for THEIR needs.

JOY comes when we are able to lose ourselves in the lives of others. I have come to understand that as a good working definition of LOVE.

If that sounds sanctimonious, I'm sorry, but i have found it to be true innumerable times in my own experience

I could easily dredge up a thousand '"good" reasons to live my life as a Sad Sack, but I long ago learned giving way to that sort of impulse is ANATHEMA.

The young woman seems to understand much of that, but I see no need to couch it in terms of psychobabble as she and most "educated" members of her generation seem wont to do. I much prefer simple, clean, direct, straight talk based on an understanding of the innumerable treasures of timeless wisdom the Bible has to offer.

______ Secure Finances ______

Seek relief from all anxiety.
Entirety may bring peace to the meek.
Cheek-by-jowl with Woe Satiety
Untidily chops away at every peak.

Reaching goals long sought, yet not reacting,
Enacting, instead, Penance Joy to bar
Far exceeds the effort so exacting
In acting to escape from feathered tar.

No way seems to clear for pure fulfillment
A poor thrill meant thwarted satisfaction ––
No reaction to an act of will meant
Chill sent paralyzing longed-for action.

Entirety possessed may act the thief.
Satiety oft fails to grant relief.

__________ An Awful Truth _________

Do most old women stop enjoying sex
Once the saggy baggy phase sets in?
Could any potent male regard these wrecks
As outlets for the joys of carnal sin?

Lechery in randy, aging goats
Arises at the thought of flesh still fresh ––
Softly rounded curves and slim white throats
Not too long departed from the creche.

Ironic that old pussies cracked and wizened
Still dream of ardent service from Fair Youth,
But no matter how these crones appear bedizened
‘Tis just their cash that lures, and that’s the truth.

The resource that best sustains us when we’re old
Is found in vaults replete with jewels and gold.

________ Death to Defeatism ________

Has life defeated you? I rather hope
Defeatist rhetoric will die aborning,
Though seen by many merely as a warning,
Each bitter word will serve to weave a rope

By which we’ll hang ourselves when the despair
We manufacture with denunciation
Of all the grievous faults that plague the nation
Convinces us our world’s beyond repair.

What good could we expect to come from that?
Affirmation is the only answer
To the questions posed by social cancer.
Get up and dance –– don’t bellow through your hat.

Although The Axe inevitably must fall,
Cringing will produce no good at all.

____________ FINDING JOY____________


It's easier to bitch than stitch,

It's easier to whine than mine.

It's easier to make noise than to exhibit poise.

It's easier to say "I'm fucked," than to construct.



To sit in the gutter counting your woes

In shit-caked jeans with a runny nose

Ranting in puddles of frozen piss

Demonstrates only that something's amiss.



So, in the bleak winter

Go shovel some snow ––



...... Cheer up the aged

...... And those who are caged.

...... Some joy you might find
.
..... If you read to the blind.

...... Don't play the whore,

...... Instead scrub the floor



Now get up and go!

I

n summer, each lazy laddie 

And each slothful lass

Should get off their ass

And go mow the grass.



Don't pout and make wishes

Just go wash the dishes

If you need to find labor,

Go help your neighbor.



Demanding is easy

Producing is hard

Protests are sleazy

Thus saith The Bard.


___________ EPILOGUE

 _____________

There's always something you can do.

Don't succumb to feeling blue.

Salvation lies through helping others

Not thinking you deserve your druthers.


Never worry. Never fear.

Just do your best to spread good cheer.

Needed work is never done

Effort's where we find our fun.


And if you're old, and stuck at home,

You can always write a poem.
But if you find your mind in fog,
For Heaven’s sake DON’T start a BLOG!
