A wish of joy for feeling gladness, happiness, and bliss. Most wishes are created by bringing things together. This one will take things away.
The tears that are shed we will take away and use them to make a rainbow. An appropriate use I think.
We’ll steal your anger and annoyance, by cooling them with a handful of snowflakes. If you don’t cheer up I’ll use the whole snowball.
I can’t take back harsh words but I can hide them with the shouts of children at play.
Your despair I’m going to burn at the stake with the warmth of a sunny day. I hope you like it well done and gone.
And the lonliness I’ll distract with a baby’s squeal as she first finds her toes. Once it’s looking the other way I’ll hit it over the head and tickle it until it’s gone. You too, if I don’t see a smile.
Finally for the nightmares, I’ve brought some apples and carrots. I would have brought sugarcubes, but too much of those are bad. Anyway we’ll feed the horses until they can’t chase anyone.
Anyway, that should take care of any fury, gloom, or longing that will interfere with joy.
Of course, taking these away doesn’t insure anything else. So take that sunny day, the snowflakes (you can subsitute ice-cream), the children, and the rainbow and share them with someone. You’ll find that even the tiniest amounts of joy are additive, twice, thrice and more.
May luck and rainbows follow ye
