Contentment

Contentment

Contentment, a soft word as words go

Quick to come, unbidden oft unsought

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Yet leaves the same, chaos in its passing

Pain fears it, terror breaks beneath it.

For a few moments free of existential angst.

Smile, for ‘tis not fun, joy nor mirth

Contentment is a gentle thing.

The tender warmth of love held near,

A good meal with old friends,

A success that matters to you alone

The smallest things give a quiet smile.
