Joy, Where Are You?
 
 
Joy, where are you?
Did you die with my father,
with my mother, or
did you drown in my tears,
Joy, where are you,
where did you go?
 
Joy, where are you?
Is it because of my fear,
as soon as I feel you,
you begin to fade.
Joy, where are you,
why won’t you stay?
 
Joy, where are you?
My most precious gift,
my partner,
 is being taken away.
Dreams yet traveled,
words yet spoken.
God, hear my prayers,
 help me find Joy
amidst the chaos I feel.
 
Joy, where are you,
where did you go?
