Infinite joy

"Goodness is rewarded."
"Hope is guaranteed."
"Laughter builds strong bones."
"Right will intercede."
Things you said I often find I need
Indeed.

I see the world through your eyes
What's black and white is colorized
The knowledge you most dearly prized
I'm eager to employ.
You said that life
Has infinite joy.

Your heart,
Your glee,
Haunt me
Your words strike suddenly.
They're obvious but wise.

I see the world through your eyes
And possibilities expand.
The one thing I don't understand
Is how you kept your poise
When life has infinite joys.
Life has infinite joys...
Infinite joys...

Your face,
Your voice,
Rejoice.
To have you back with me
Is such a fine surprise.

I see the world through eyes.
I taste lemon on my lips.
I marvel at the sailing ships
Of well-dressed girls and boys.
And life...
Life...
Has infinite joys...
Has infinite joys...
Life has infinite...
Infinite...
Joys!
