Rhythms of the Heart

We try our best to maintain good rhythm

But at times life gets in the way

The every day challenges of modern living

The demands we face each day

The greatest reward we receive in the end

Is happiness and true contentment

At peace with the world and all things pure

Not harbouring any resentment

The ultimate aspiration of every human

Is a journey free from hassle

Filled with many accomplishments

Where your home is really your castle

Rhythm is an extremely important part

Of contentment and a happy life

Good rhythm lends us a sense of well being

A journey free from strife

Cindy Cayton Date: 10/20/2014 6:28:00 AM Simple yet wisdom shown in such rhyme and the poem has a beat, I like it. By the way, if You comment me my poetry some as of late is much like a message board. I would suggest: Daylight, What More Shall I ask, Presence... I don't know, just I suggestion. Been on here about 8 yrs under different forms of natural name and a certain writer professes true love, then he doesn't.
