Oh, Joy!



If there was ever any personification of joy
Full of smiles
Smiles with dimples
Dimples seen from miles
As she flashes her pearly white teeth
Blossoming and blooming as sunflowers brighten the earth
And she brings songs of mirth to my heart
As I see her leaping like an hart
Panting after the brooks
Like the fairy queen in the story books
She is the dream girl of every boy.
