Contentment

Contentment is
the freedom to have a peaceful existence.
Contentment is
relaxation and fulfillment,
reaching the height of satisfaction
and seeing the stars shine down on me.
Contentment is

Contentment is
the force that drives me to completion.
Contentment is
the ability to strive toward my dream,
to rise above defeat and negativity
and jump over any obstacle that gets in my way.
Contentment is.

Contentment is
meeting the challenges of commitment.
Contentment is
making me believe that I can fly like an eagle
conquering the storms that would hinder me;
I would surround myself with beauty.
Contentment is.

Contentment is
pretending to be someone famous.
Contentment is
singing my favorite song,
developing new steps for the jive,
and keeping in time with the beat.
Contentment is.

Contentment is
playing with my favorite animals.
Contentment is
practicing my role for my favorite drama;
the action of riding my favorite horse,
and hearing the sound of the birds.
Contentment is.

Contentment is
to feel the joy of laughter.
Contentment is
being sensitive to the needs of others,
caring for the lives of individuals.
