HAPPINESS and CONTENTMENT
Want to read the whole poem click here
Contentment’s gentle breeze
Sways the soul, a peaceful ease
A calm that soothes the troubled mind
And brings a sense of peace, one of a kind
Happiness blooms like a flower bright
Petals of joy, shining with delight
A warm and fuzzy feeling that never fades
A treasure to cherish, in every shade
But how do we find this elusive state?
A balance of heart, and a peaceful fate
Is it in the moments we take to breathe?
Or in the love that we share, and the memories we keep?
Perhaps it’s in the simple things we do
A walk in nature, a laugh with a friend or two
A good book, a warm cup of tea or coffee
A moment of gratitude, for all we see
Contentment and happiness, intertwined
A delicate dance, of heart and mind
A journey we take, with every step
Towards a life of joy, and a heart that’s blessed
Is living in a mansion happiness?
When people inside full of worries?
Simple life, simple living is full of laughter
When family full of love binds together
In the warmth of love, we find our nest
A sense of belonging, where hearts find rest
The laughter of children, the smiles of the old
A bond that’s strong, a love that never grows cold
In these moments, we find our glee
A sense of fulfillment, wild and free
No need for riches, or fame so grand
Just love, laughter, and a peaceful land
Gold and silver may shine so bright
But can’t replace the warmth of love’s light
Wealth without friends, a lonely fate
A treasure trove, devoid of love’s sweet state
With every breath, our souls take flight
Feeling alive, in the beauty of light
The world’s vastness, in our hearts we hold
A sense of wonder, that never grows old
The stars up high, a twinkling show
A celestial dance, in the evening’s glow
The earth’s vast beauty, a treasure to see
A gift to cherish, for you and me
I thank God for creating this wonderful world
For creating everything great and small, thank you Lord
How great living happy and contented
What can I ask more? I ask my good health
With health and happiness, I’m truly blessed
A life of joy, with every step I take, I guess
I ask for strength, to face each new day
And gratitude’s heart, to never stray
For all the blessings, big and small
I’m thankful for it all, one and all
May my heart remain, full of cheer
And love for life, forever near
Lord please give more strength and energy
To face more challenges everyday
This world we are living is full of miseries
Wars, pandemics, Disasters, Jealousy and envies
In the midst of turmoil, guide me through
With faith and hope, I’ll face it anew
Help me to rise, above the strife
And find solace, in Your loving life
Give me the courage, to stand tall and strong
To face each challenge, and sing a happy song
May Your love and light, shine bright and true
And guide me forward, in all I do
Father my God my Lord our Almighty creator
You are my provider for everything I need and my protector
For all the dangers I will encounter
You are my greatest healer and teacher
My God my Lord please guide me everyday
To be with my loving friends and family
To live in contentment and to be happy
May Your love surround me, like a shield and a wall
Protecting me from harm, and guiding me through it all
Help me to trust, in Your perfect plan
And find peace in Your presence, in every circumstance and every land
Thank You for Your blessings, and Your loving care
I’m grateful for Your guidance, and Your presence everywhere
May my heart be filled, with love and with cheer
And may I spread joy, wherever I go, year after year
Thank you Father and to your only son Jesus
With your everlasting love, through Holy Spirit
The Blessed Mother the Virgin Mary Conceived and gave birth to our Saviour
In the name of Jesus Alleluiah AMEN
