Joyful Words

WJoyfulWordsYou gave us all the ability to laugh
and the desire to play.
Please help me to not confuse
taking You seriously
with taking myself too seriously.

Please help me to remember
that a laugh and a smile
and a bit of fun
can go a very long way.

Help me to rediscover
the childhood joy and spontaneity
with which I once approached
Your world.
