Measured in smiles
And bread on the table
And winding our way
Through trials
Hopefully with another
Surveying the miles together
Seeking safe distances
Between sunrise and sunsets
Inches of pain
But yards of contentment
Measured in smiles
And bread on the table
And winding our way
Through trials
Hopefully with another
Surveying the miles together
Seeking safe distances
Between sunrise and sunsets
Inches of pain
But yards of contentment

Interesting Poem. Safe Distances Between Sunrise and Sunsets. Life is Fragile. Being Careful is Important to See Another Day and Night. Life can be Simple and Always Not Being Hard.
Yes - after I wrote I thought about this line - and remembered all the adventures when young that weren't necessarily "safe" - but made great memories. (I mean physical ones - not drugs or anything......). So not sure playing safe is always best policy......
Depends on Your Idea of Fun and Excitement. People are Crazy in a lot of Different Ways. Arrive Alive. Your Wallet will also Thank You.
Lovely to read these well-written comparisons with life's journey and our attitude to its true meaning - a fine piece with much food for thought about how our yards of contentment are measured with smiles - -
- -- thanks for this read dear Lorna.
May that contentment go on for miles. Good write.
