I accepted it without question. I remember vividly. How it took my breath away. I thanked Joy often and she stayed and watched as I danced with what she had given me. And I danced with Joy We laughed. We were friends. I thought she would stay. I thought we would dance forever. I thanked Joy over and over. I lived with Joy. I thought she would stay. Sorrow arrived in the summer. She stifled Joy. She wanted to stay and to banish Joy. She was not our friend. I overheard a conversation between Joy and Sorrow and what I heard made me afraid. What Joy had given me was not hers to give, Sorrow explained. It belonged to Sorrow and Joy had stolen it and given it to me. Sorrow said that she would take back what was hers. Take it from me and banish Joy. At least I think that's what she said. I asked Joy about it. She told me not to worry and just enjoy the dance. I notice now that she never really reassured me. She never told me that what she had given me was Joy Came In Spring By Maria Ahern
