My Hearts Joy

These little gifts I give myself

Are seldom ever seen

They don't consist of gold or jewels

Or of diamonds or rings

I place around my inner self

The things that I love best

The things that give me joy in life

The things that comfort best

You probably wouldn't notice 

or even care to see

But these are very special things

And mean so much to me

 

I count it all entirely joy

To lend a helping hand

I am the most content in life

When I can wash a pan

 

I love to see a shining floor

That sports a brand new wax

Or help to add the final touch 

Or fix what things might lack

I love to see the windows shine

As the sun smiles on the glass

I love the joy of finishing

A very simple task

I love to see the smiles they bring

When flowers first appear

I love it when my Savior sends

A special bird to hear

I love to clean and make a mess

That others would detest

But I can see the end results

Though I always don't confess

I love to clean and cook and serve

It brings my heart great joy

Lord let me keep a servants heart

So others can enjoy!
