Joy

Thousands of bubbles in the park 

A carefree child chasing them

A puppy in the corner trying to catch them with his mouth.

A boy lost in music, swaying to the sound of his soul

A girl absorbed in a book, unaware of the world around her

Both swimming in visions of their individual fantasy.

A toddler rolling down a slanting verdant patch in the garden

Laughing as her world merges into a colorful blur

The flowers around her shake with silent laughter too.

A puppy joins her and pants with joy

He lies on his back and waves his paws in wonder

Only to be scooped up by his person and enveloped into a hug.

The man grins down at his goofy puppy

Who's always unafraid of expressing himself

This was definitely the best decision of his life.

The lady in the corner continues to blow bubbles

It makes her happy to add these rainbow colored balls of joy to the mix

Grateful for her second chance at life.
