Alyce Wynn is the author of Come Joy! It is the personal testimony of a spiritual journey in progress. Written in varying voices, its four chapters represent what the author considers to be the main components of life that all people experience. It is a relationship piece, between self, loved ones, nature and God. They are songs from the heart, hymns from the soul that will uplift, edify, and even entertain. Taken from the colorful pages of real life stories, the reader can relate on an intimate level, recognize the value of the midnight hour, and find his or her own path to joy in the morning.
Provided below is a sample of Alyce’s work:
Come Joy! by Alyce
…with all haste
come and flow through me
perform what you do
so wonderfully to me
bring back my laughter
loud, let it ring
hum in my ear that sweet song
angels sing!
rain down upon me
fill up my heart
fashion my smile
that I had at the start…
Come Joy!
I implore you
that others may
adore youI lift up my hands to the heavens
and wait for you…
