the Joy.

These reflections come in the context of the Olympics, southern hospitality for our many visitors and the departure of a friend.

One risks a lot having great expectations.
One hopes they are met without complications.
Then one can give explanations
Of the joy.

One’s source of endless exultations
Can only be seen in part, not as completed compilations.
Hence the reason for the random exclamations
Of the joy.

It can come from athletic dominations,
Words of support and inspirations,
Or a simple hug of love explains the accumulations
Of the joy.

One should keep the great expectations
Which can lead to moments of jubilations.
Nothing should stand in the way- not the risk, not the derivations-
Of the joy.
