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.
