This is a poem I posted earlier that brought a lot of good response. I thought I would repost it for those of you who are new to my blog. I hope you enjoy it as well.
The Oil of Gladness
Ever try celebrating when no one cares?
A big event a great surprise
Yet no one seems phased
Inside you are jumping up and down
Outside you are sliding on a splintered board
The oil of gladness
A necessary part of healthy living
Sharing joy with those who rejoice
Finding well-earned success
The oil of gladness
Celebrating with the child who comes in second
Eating over baked cookies with a smile
Finding joy in the little things of life
The oil of gladness
Makes every day run smoother
Seals relationships with a lasting bond
Love begins and ends
With the oil of gladness

The oil of gladness, a layer of appreciation and love, and amidst the sadness, it helps our spirits rise like a dove.
