The Joy of Being Here
There is a joy that comes and stays
When life is full in all its ways
On silent feet the light creeps in
To fill a life that was dark within
Though you cannot hear and cannot touch
Those things in life that mean so much
They exist as real for all mankind
To be treasured up with all things fine
To open up your heart is to receive
The beauty of universe that all perceive
