Yes I am content,
I have a beautiful wife who's always there for me
When despair sinks over me like a dark cloud.
Two lovely dogs, my little Mollie dog in my profile
Photo and a mad Labrador. Well we know the mother was
a Labrador but I think the father was an idiot
I can still walk with the aid of a stick and still
for the time being have the use of my hands.
The other day I saw a photo of a Ukrainian soldier.
He had lost both legs above the knees. He looked to
be only in his early 20's but he will never walk again.
It makes me think back to my early days as a soldier,
the times I thought I might never see another beautiful
sunset or hear the dawn chorus.
Well I sat down a thought, I still have a life but what has
that young man got to look forward to
So yes I'm content with the life that I have.
