Find Joy —2003

The simple and beautiful text of Find Joy was written in collaboration with the elementary school students of the Conestoga Valley School District, which commissioned the work. The Brownstown Elementary School choir was backed up, in concert, by the Conestoga Valley High School Students.

Text

find joy
find joy
find poetry
sleep late
find joy
work hard
be happy
be happy
be happy
don’t rush
be satisfied
respect everything
take time
give everything
catch snowflakes
count the stars
share a smile
make a friend
sleep in
go outside
drive around
say I love you
find comfort
help others
take time
meet someone
watch a child
watch the snow fall
find joy
look forward
follow your heart
be there
be nice
be kind
live life
make goals
find friends
find warmth
