Joy


Joy left my house today
It ran out all wrapped in warm golden fur
As happy as ever to go for a walk
Did he know he wasn't coming back?
Did he feel my heart break?

Joy left my house today
More bouncy and happy than when he arrived
There was a spring in his step
and a smile in his eyes

Joy left my house today
And now I look for that furry face
by the back door, waiting to come in
by my side, waiting for a cuddle

Joy left my house today
Leaving me in despair
Leaving me depressed
Knowing it's for the best

Joy left my house today
I miss his warm furry body
I miss his shredding newspapers
And tossing toys in the air

Joy left my house today
My heart is broken
My mind depressed
Yet I know it's for the best

Joy left my house today
To find his forever home
I pray his life is better now
Maybe because of me

More joy comes tomorrow
