There Is No Denying This Genesis of Joy

“The world will never starve for want of wonders; 
but only for want of wonder.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles

A  child's joy is so pure!





There is no denying this; Children’s laughter, chatter, kiss 
Reminds us that happiness is not a complicated quest 
Fortune is not found in things; angels are not white with wings 
We can all feel rich as kings if we recognize life’s best 

Wonder is want satisfied; a relinquishing of pride 
As we set ourselves aside, caught off-guard by awe unchecked 
For there’s no denying this; He who authors wonder’s bliss 
Thus orchestrates the genesis of joy without defect 

Want is always on the hunt; at the mercy of the brunt 
Of discontentment’s blunt and insatiable emptiness 
There is no denying this; what a wonder, Wonder IS 
As a glimpse of God surprises us with happiness
