Contentment

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
May 2021 · 1 min read

 

We find it so easy to complain

And most difficult to restrain

 

Greed in our souls surrounds

Insatiability in them abounds

 

In contentment lies sheer delight

Peaceful day and peaceful night

 

‘Keep it simple’ rule is the best

Trust in God and forget the rest

 

Concentrate on life’s higher goals

Embrace the bliss of serene souls

 

Mental peace if the path is steep

Strong nerves and deep sleep

 

They are contentment’s sweet fruit

Heavenly, enchanting and absolute

 

___________
