there is no better joy

There is no better joy
Then to be wanted
Or to be loved
Some things are fleeting
But not the above

When three sets of eyes looked up
When three mouths said feed me
Put clothes on me


Elation when you see one of three
Score points in a basketball game


Happiness when two of three
Spells money with just one mistake


Blissful when three of three
Sits on knee to play


There is an end even to joy
But not the memories of family
Tears in need


There is no better joy
Then family
Demanding attention
Some things are fleeting
But not the above
