Even Joy



Finding a way ,                                                                                   
Of   maintaining an even joy,
In  life,
Ensures a safe,
Tempo in life;
We go through,
Ups and downs,
Pitfalls and potholes,
Trials and temptations;
We should strive ,
To maintain an even keel in life,
Not yielding to variations,
But leading a life of even joy.
