In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Happy Happy Joy Joy.”

I cry often am not scared
Of the emotional ride
Travelled on every day
Not often are there happy tears

But when hearing sweet angel
Sing my own words back to me
A river of joy, river of love
Flowed uninvited, unrestrained

I embrace those joyful tears
Accept any flows of pain
For tears of life remind again
Of life and that we live
