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.
