Analysis of How Much Joy
Having everything you need,
how much richer could you get
Feeling everything God given,
how much luckier even yet
Knowing everything presented,
how much smarter might you be
Your life shared with then another
—how much joy could you foresee
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
