Something Good

Something Good

In the midst of joy, I found I have smiles.

In the midst of laughter, I found myself bubbly.

In the midst of order, I found I have a plan.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of summer, I found there was,

within me, an eternal spring.

And that makes me happy. For it says that

when the world seems lovely to me,

within me there is something good, grace,

wanting to pay it forward.

In conversation with Albert Camus’s «Within Me».
