What is joy?

Joy is the smiling happy faces of little children at play.

Joy is the nervous excited daydreams of a bride on her wedding day.

Joy is catching a glimpse of a doe nuzzling her fawn.

Joy is watching the sun break over the mountains, as it unfurls a new dawn.

Joy is a mother dove beginning to coo, as she sings to her hatchling starting anew.

But most of all, joy is that special feeling between me and you.
