PROMPT — Joy is ...
What do I want from life,
a slice of happiness,
a helping of prayer,
a scoop of knowledge,
a handful of goals,
a serving of love,
a ration of gratitude,
a bit of joy,
a quota of rest,
a fraction of peace,
a part in helping others,
a proportion of laughter,
an allotment of personal growth,
and if possible, provide me
with a second helping of each.
