Is there a man who's content with all aspects of his life,

Satisfied with everything so as to keep him out of strife;

Imagine a place where there is total perfect peace,

A place just like heaven where all desires will cease.

.

If we strive for contentment we find it hard to achieve,

Instead of leaving it for God and starting to believe;

I think I'd like to fly away and leave it all behind,

For without those fears and doubts contentment I would find.

.

Now I know it's there just waiting if I search my heart and look,

You might find it hard to talk about but it's never to be mistook;

I must of been really hurting not having contentment on my mind,

But I found it in helping others when I was humble and being kind.

.

It's really very beautiful to have and say you know,

To reach out and really touch someone with the gentleness you show;

It's found in giving of yourself and making someone's day,

And it's going out to dinner and saying that you'll pay.

.

But most of all it's pleasure in helping someone in need,

It's leaving and not taking all those things we tend to greed;

Contentment is a magic we get from giving love,

It's treasure is the knowing of the eternal God above.

.

Well now I'm nearly finished and I hope that you might of seen,

A little bit of contentment in this poem's created scene;

To all adue, I wish you luck for the contentment that you seek,

But remember that contentment is answered when your weak.

.

Signed,

I've been contented.
