sonnet in tetrameter

 

Content.

 

All things bright and beautiful

all creatures great and small.

If you are rich and powerful.

Then you can have them all.

Each little flower that opens.

Each little bird that sings

If you can afford it; then

 you can have all of these things

 But cash cannot buy happiness

True happiness is not for sale.

So if you only seek success.

Although you win you’re bound to fail

The secret of true happiness

To have enough no more no less.

Another beautiful piece of writing. Ah! Contentment. Somehow, it's something that everyone wants, but very few know how to find it. Most people search in all the wrong places. They look for happy in things that will never satisfy. The key to true happiness lies in our contentment with who, what and where we are - right now! I enjoyed this piece very much and it definitely spoke to me and made me review my life.
