Peace of Mind

Women ask for many things,

From designer jeans to diamond rings.

We ask for love,

Tender as a velvet glove.

We ask for success and money,

In hopes our days will always be sunny.

We ask for fame,

To leave a legacy of our name.

We ask for happiness,

In anticipation of joyful bliss.

We ask for signs,

Directing us towards future good times.

We ask for a miracle,

 To keep from becoming cynical.

 

A lot of what we ask for we can easily find,

Once we live in peace of mind,

The most precious gift of any kind!

Beautiful poem well written. From reading many AD authors I find Ronald's comments everywhere. They seem to always be critical and negative.

I enjoyed your poem!

What do designer jeans and diamond rings have to do with happiness? I wonder if we have misplaced values of those things as somehow making us happy. Happiness is a process, not a thing we can hold in our hand in our hand and admire.
