Contentment


As a child, it was all about

rambunctious energy and play.


Now, in my mid-seventies,

I understand contentment.



Running and tennis

still energize my body.



Writing and reading

still stimulate my mind.


I had never dreamed

of becoming a poet.


With nature always available,

I will never run out of content.


Writing poetry

makes me feel content.
