The Secret of Joy.

The Secret Of Joy

I wish I could
Show everyone
How to have fun.
How to enjoy
Without hurting
someone else.

Joy can come,
From so many things.
By giving a gift
And getting a smile back.

Isn't that enough
To make one's heart warm?
Isn't that the
Greatest joy you can get?

Why hurt others
To please yourself?
Why spoil the fun
For others,
So that you can
Laugh and laugh
At another's expense.

Why be a sadist
When you can be a friend?
Have you ever tried
to be nice?
Then only you'll know,
Its a joy for your heart.

To know, that you make
Someone, old or young,
Happy and glad
Can be so much better
Than being a bully who is bad.

Fun doesn't mean
Only for you.
Fun is for everyone who wants it.
Laughter is not your own.
It can be owned by anyone.
To make others sad
Is not your right.
It is in fact
The worst thing,
You have no right to do.

Cheer someone up,
Try it just once.
Make a soul glad.
A hug, a smile.
It means a lot.

Just do it once
And find the wonders it can do.
Compassion and love
For one and all,
The secret to the purest Joy.
