Throughout our lives we seek it,
We seek that place where all is fine.
The road may be hard to travel,
Hills of troubles form before us
But those hills can be overcome,
And the experience of climbing them
Makes us so much stronger.
The bends in the road frighten us
But as we turn them we find
All is well as the fear is conquered.
Throughout our lives we seek it
And we will eventually be content,
As in life contentment is a gift,
A gift that is hard won,
But contentment will be there,
Be there for us all.
Contentment is a gift hard won.

Made me feel hopeful that the scarey bends may be conquered.
So glad, those scary bends can be very exiting once conquered.
Great write Andy.
My wife and I were only saying yesterday that if we could halt time we are at age were we have achieved in life all that we ever sought and would be content to remain at our current age in perpetuity. But that aint gonna happen as the wrinkles grow ever deeper.
So many of us are at this junction.
Very true Michael. I would have stopped ours about five years ago before Joyce’s dementia kicked in.
A fine write Andy.
A guy goes to Doc and says 'I keep feeling stressed'. Doc said 'Don't camp outdoors then - intense (in tents!). Stay indoors!' lol. A corny joke from the word 'conTENTment'.
Cheers Orchi, now kindly leave the stage after a joke like that.

Enlightenment is there for us all to find.

Great message G and I know from reading many of your psts that last line meant a lot to you... It was WELL worth repeating

Thank you Andrew your comment is much appreciated.
Contentment has only ever been a transient in my life.
I hope it becomes consistent in your life before long d a.
Desire makes us want
Want makes us work
Work makes us achieve
Achieving makes us Content
Unless desire keeps on wanting.
Thnx
Thank you for your fine words Suresh.
