"In youth, the essence of Joy is not
always fully grasped,
we live through years just existing before we
finally ask,
'What am I missing?'
God's hand is offering the gift,
I have spent money on clothing and jewels,
forever seeking that 'quick-fix' lift.
Finally, it seems, we awaken to life,
material stuff is no longer our ploy,
now, in Peace, I know if I had to choose,
I would shed my fine garments
to be cloaked in Joy!"
