Oh the joy of all things new As one life begins from what was two And this awaited day seems like forever Its joy spreading like morning dew
Excited at all things yet to come At the unknown and of the new When all fits the dreamt of plan And life’s concerns are so very few
When dreamt of skies are always blue So little past and such future instead A vision of shared joy in clearest view Occupies both the heart and head
All is a perfect and holy celebration And as joy fills all hearts throughout Comes life’s seeping imperfection A shortness of joy known not about
A flowing joy slowing to a trickle Is warned by the fright-filled host As the unknown limits of life so fickle Portend the loss of a future toast
And a prayer is sent to the Mother Who sees what is to be done Lovingly knows there is another And brings this prayer to the Son
He who is always present and waits As his mission has not yet begun And in love as always he listens To prayers offered to the loving One
For he too wants our joy to flourish With his power doth always thus respond Providing an answer beyond our wish To fill all hearts with new joy beyond
All fear and sadness are soon dispelled As the flow of his miraculous gift has begun With new joy all fear is soon expelled At the power of love flows from the Son
Dear Jesus Just when my joy is interrupted, seemingly at an end My prayers are answered by your great love In surprising ways love not understood you send Gift beyond my thoughts and dreams With wisdom beyond and from above
