Does someone wish he knew
The way to go through life
Without feeling all used up?
Jesus' "Your joy no man
Taketh from you (see Luke 16:22)
Holds a vital clue.
The Master's promise here
Can seem too much to believe
Given the things that
Humankind can sometimes do.
But it is nonetheless spiritual fact,
Within the reach of me and you.
Inharmony never really touches
Man's true, like-God selfhood --
Ours and theirs. What's more,
Understanding this truth divine
Will lingering bitterness relieve,
One's joy and faith in good restore.
