Contentment Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Contentment

Rating: 4.7


If there is contentment
There will be no walls
That divide the rich and the poor.

Like the flow of water
In the river
Contentment guides us
To a common end of
Unity and togetherness.

Like the birds
They fly without anything
They sing for everyone
Expecting nothing in return
Whatever the circumstances.

It is said that if a man is given all the riches of the world they will still not be enough for him. There is nothing better than contentment if one were to feel happy. A thought-provoking piece.

All three stanzas are one by one excellent thoughts presented in this brilliant poem. Fascinating metaphors in all three verses..Contentment is the keyword in all stanzas. This is most beautifully worded in this fantastic write.

Contentment is unique to one person. What becomes contentment for one will vary by the numbers of people on Earth. Thought provoking.
