Contentment: a state of happiness and satisfaction Here again I find myself Always longing, always seeking Trying to add myself to life's bookshelf Even when I obtain what I think I want And it seems I should be happy where I am Some OTHER longing shows its face and taunts I ever find myself straining at the bit Seeking something I cannot find Forever feeding the fire ambitiously lit But maybe what I have is beautiful to see Maybe I should pause a moment and reflect On all the joyous blessings already given to me

No matter where you are and what you are longing for, always remember where you started and how far you have come.
