Analysis of JOY
Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)
The joy of happiness is the joy of love.
The joy of a baby’s face smiling in your face.
The joy of living in the sadness of dying.
The joy of a baby taking a shape of a being, in a women’s womb.
The joy of a couple standing, side by side in marriage;
The joy of kissing the moonlight dust.
The joy of giving something you treasure.
The joy of freedom.
The joy of the sun shining on your face.
The joy of knowing you are loved.
