Poem for Advent: Week Three
JOY: Just, Outrageous, You!
Joy is no wallflower.
She, yes she, is bold , sassy and somewhat fearsome.
Joy bursts into the room and won't stop grooving', till everyone is on the dance floor.
Her name is short, but her actions are memorable; causing laughter to tears in only the best way.
Joy is unstoppable.
You can't ignore her and you must respect her.
She is just.
She is outrageous.
She has one candle for each letter of her name.
Joy will break through all barriers and bring her colorful wonder
to you, and you, and you, and you, and
Y O U...
just, outrageous, you.
Joy!
