Where can we find peace and joy?
Are they in a bauble or a toy?

Are they in your hands or in your head
Perhaps a comfortable night slept in your bed?

Are they in a story or a song…
Maybe in a conversation that lasts oh-so-long

Are they in a relationship
Or a computer chip?

Are they in a quiet walk in the park
When you take a snapshot of a singing lark?

Are they in the raindrops that we see
Or in the flight of a bumblebee?

Are they in an eagle taking flight?
Or gleaming in a star-filled night?

Peace and Joy come from the Most High
You’ll only find living His life by and by.
