Full of joy now! Powerful, this unspeakable joy,
Sensations of longing and beauty running through my veins,
I, yearning the strength joy brings,
To you who knows these, I’m needing you.
When you read these lines I that was present have become absent,
Now it is you, powerful, with unspeakable joy, reading my poems, needing me,
Wondering how joyful you were when I was with you;
Think of me now as if I were there. (You can be certain that I am with you always.)

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is an adaptation of Walt Whitman's poem Full of Life Now found in Leaves of Grass. I was thinking of the joy God gives, but because of absence we can be sad, but there is no need for that.

A poem of hope - enjoyed the read.
Mother T. also said, "One filled with joy, preaches, without preaching." Your sense of joy becomes shared with all who read your poems. I am sure you have reached many hearts with this one. - Phil A.
Thank you Phil. I'm trying another approach to writing poems. This is an adaptation to a Walt Whitman poem. I want to bless others, of course, through writing poems of significance.
