Today's Poem

What We've Got

Does it matter, what we've got?
Some have a little, some a lot
And who is happy in this time?
Don't guess too soon, read through this rhyme

The answer is that no-one knows
One day things change, new fortune grows
And still the answer isn't plain
Think on these things, and think again

The games are endless, who may win?
Contestants race once they begin
And yet the questions still remain
Some live in lies, some live in pain

Look further than your shadowed friends
A chance is here to make amends
With truth and beauty, burning hot
Give thanks today for what we've got

 Reviews of "What We've Got"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on April 22, 2014
The answer is quite simple. What we've got should be what we need, and not much more. Perhaps the most important thing is to be healthy and happy. Otherwise, regardless of what we've got, life is difficult. I think that the more one has, the more one's responsibility increases. With more, there is less freedom. Throwing off the baggage of excess and living more simply can have its rewards and happiness.
