con-TENT-ment
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.
