Contentment In the Afternoon
Sitting in my chair
as comfy as can be.
Just me, my son and my old dog
to keep me company.
Many years it’s taken,
your almost 41.
The obstacles along the way
that we have overcome.
There’s money in the bank
(a little savings too).
I get my new membership
with money left for you.
You talk to me quite often
and even give me hugs,
no pulling back against my arms
like I’ve some kind of bug.
At 60 I appreciate
the life I have been given.
It may look simple in your eyes
but with it I’m quite smitten.
