Contentment is a word which carries Ease of mind through thoughts that smile Because your day forgot to worry And that trial did rest a while Today I feel contented way And really I do not know why It might be nature, bright and sunny Or my dreams that get me by It just might be that I can rest Not have to work this day or night That people smiled and gave me hope That in my world most things are right I think contentment comes with age From walking on life’s road and ways From feelings of both good and bad From odd events that fill our days I feel content; it might not last But nice to know it finds me here I’ll sit with pleasure for this while Enjoying, as it holds me near |

Rick - I agree with the Bluesy One.. I think contentment comes with age From walking on life’s road and ways From feelings of both good and bad From odd events that fill our days I feel content; it might not last But nice to know it finds me here I’ll sit with pleasure for this while Enjoying, as it holds me near I found contentment does come with age, and so does peacefulness. But dang, with age I'm finding I can't do all the things I once did... BC |

I love the serene meditation feel to this work of yours. It also works as a prayer of gratitude. So beautifully written, dear Rick. Thank you. Love, Margherita |

Good way to start off a Sunday morning, much needed and not easily found. "Contentment" we search for it everywhere, it lies within.Beautiful write. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
