Joy

Joy is my family who cares for me.
Joy is having people love me
the way I am.
Joy is swimming in the creek
on a hot hot day.
Joy is having friends
that care and share.

-- Heather, 4th grade

Joy is a fire with hot chocolate in my hands,
and snuggling up to my mom,
her body warming mine
on a cold winter night,
the cotton soft snow falling outside.
Joy is giving presents and seeing the happiness they bring,
then receiving and feeling the same
on Christmas morning.

Joy is
swimming on a hot summer day,
I feel as free as the wind.

Joy is
the beautiful colors of autumn,
the orange like gold,
the red like ruby,
as they fall from the trees and crunch like chips under my feet.

Joy is friends and family joined together,
and me being one of the many.

-- Catherine, 6th grade
