Joy even in darkness

Joy

by C. P. Jacob

Joy is like a simple spark 
Smiles and cheer in the dark 
Despite the trails and the pain 
The pleasure still remains the same
A glimmer of a hope undiminished 
Will carry you 'till your finished
Throughout your life, content and glad 
With the spark of joy you've had
Remember though things may be bad 
That doesn't mean you must be sad
A little spark of joy can carry you awhile 
Whether two small steps or walking a mile
Through the pain just remember 
Joy is light like an ember 
Hidden within the dark 
Joy is shining like a spark

I always like to think positive, so maybe that's why I picked joy. And I think it's a good reminder that even through life's hardest trials we don't have to be consumed by grief, we can still have hope. I'm not saying you should be happy or joyful all the time, but you can still look forward to a better future and hold onto your hope.
