Contentment

Sometimes the best way forward is to be content 

To ease the troubles of thinking about what we don't have 

And instead appreciate what we have that another may not

It's sometimes best to think that we came into this world with nothing 

And will surely leave with nothing but our marks on the world 

Note that you may not be where you want to be today 

But you are not where you used to be, that is evidence of progress

Maybe not progress at the speed which you may want 

But a speed good enough for you to learn and appreciate what is yet to come

To think that we have food, drinks, life, sweet smelling meatloaf or whatever it may be 

Should be enough to encourage us and fill us with contentment 

It is sometimes the case where riches can get to the head of a man to an extent 

Where he is no longer quick to caution himself and falls in to all sorts 

Of temptations that eventually lead him into a web of destruction

How does it benefit you if I gave you everything you've ever wanted today 

For you to wake up tomorrow so full of sorrow 

Feeling that you had gained everything you wanted just to lose yourself

So today take a stand, a stand away from the things that do not 

Bring you peace, love, joy or happiness and 

Instead turn in the way that profits you everything and loses you nothing 

That everyday you live is another reason just to tell yourself ; 

" I made it through today, I can make it through another day. "
