to know real joy we must first learn to love all the good that is around us we must first learn to appreciate all the loveliness we see and touch and feel we must first suffer to know real pain a pain that rips and tears at our hearts until they are barely beating a hurt that seeks to collapse the walls of our very souls.

Things truly said here are the things we all have gone through, but to know real Joy you got to believe in yourself, believe in your God and do you best to keep positive each day.

I appreciate very much your "recipe" for how to know real joy, Pierre. I have certainly experienced the "mountains and valleys" that you mention in your bio. I can completely relate to your poem and fully admit that right now, I am very close to a valley. Thank you, friend. Love and peace to you,

Regis
