Another Contentment Poem

I always love to feel content -
For it's a state of mind that's heaven sent.
I feel so calm and quite at peace,
And all my troubles now have come to cease.

I'm free of hardship and of every worry.
I'm now in the moment - not in a hurry.
And as contentment is a sweet sensation,
I shall give the world a huge ovation.

And I believe this feeling shall last all time.
Now tranquillity rests...

Catching Contentment

Contentment can be hard to catch.
So box it in and close the latch.
Let your contentment not escape,
Whatever be it's form or shape.

Our contentment is so very special,
For with our problems it will wrestle.
And since it helps our spirits rise,
Let it not dwindle nor demise.

Keep it safe from all destruction.
Let no troubles make an interruption.
So whatever be your situation,

Holding Happiness

I'd love to hold happiness 
And then I'd wish for it to stay,
But just like water in my hands,
It always dwindles away.

Then I would put them in a vase,
If I could only have the power.

I'd love to bottle happiness 
And maybe save it for later.
Though my hopes are so big and many
That they could easily fill a crater.

I'd lo...

Contentment

I love to feel contentment.
It always gives me satisfaction.
It comforts and relaxes,
And is a beautiful distraction.

It makes me warm and cozy.
It gives me a definite direction.
And whatever I may be doing,
I shall keep a sweet reflection.

Wherever that I may be,
I hope it shall stay forever.
To cherish and to hold it,
And to let it go - I do say: never.

I then believe the world...

Sweet Contentment

Sweet contentment I do revere,
It gives me hope and takes my fear.
When I'm content I feel so fine.
It makes me feel the world is mine.

Sweet contentment I love in each situation,
And gives for my life such appreciation.
I feel that I can do almost anything,
And of the world I am the king.

Sweet contentment I surely treasure,
It is feeling that I cannot measure.
It makes me feel safe...
