Everything In Life Poem by Sotirios Skoufis

We want everything in life
A perfect husband, kids, a perfect wife
We want everything in life
A perfect mother and father

A perfect sister and brother
Perfect friends, a perfect school
Job and education
We want everything in life

To be happy, healthy, wealthy
And be loved from all
We want everything in life
But what is everything

Do we ever wonder, or ask ourselves
Is there are a possibility that through our focus
We loose our flexibility or call it our agility,
and with that ourselves?

We want everything in life
And if something scary happens
It marks us, we become fearful and anxious
Stressed and distressed

Depressed, dissatisfied and disappointed
It's because we want everything in life
And we haven't realized that we
are the everything we're looking for

and life consists out of giving, and not of receiving
so instead of wanting everything in life
if you want to be happy and steady
Live the present abundantly by giving all your love

Start to be the everything for others, kids
mothers, fathers, sisters, friends and brothers
and then always
You'll have everything in life
