For Joy by Jan Richardson (poem)

 

You can prepare

but still

it will come to you

by surprise


crossing through your doorway

calling your name in greeting

turning like a child

who quickens suddenly

within you


it will astonish you

how wide your heart

will open

in welcome


for the joy

that finds you

so ready

and still so

unprepared.
