Flickering

we all want to be happy
let it be
we don't need to keep
sharing our pain
trying to give it away
doesn't work
we need to share our joy
and if we don't have any
get some
joy walks into my life
when I see pictures
of Kody Hadley Asher
grandchildren laughing
delighted by something
we hardly noticed
a candle is designed to burn
to its very end
so should we
