Joyful Things

At times I'm so discouraged

with problems of the day

I fail to see the joyful things

that are along the way

 

When troubles overwhelm me

It's then my nerves may fray

that's when I need to take the time

To simply sit and pray

 

Reflecting on God's many the gifts

It makes me so aware

Of all the joy in little things

around me everywhere!

 

I must try to remember

though problems come my way

not to miss the joyful things

and the beauty of the day.
