Contentment Poem by Amir Khosro Alai
Contentment
I put all my desires off my heart,
Those not given are not my part,
No longer dream, no wish to make,
What is given to me is what I take,
Whatever comes is well received,
Enjoy the given, crave not the missed.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The mind is filled with flowing desires that never cease. Our dreams keep our mind busy in another way. Once we find satisfaction in what we are and what we have, then we can enjoy life as it is given to us.
