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 © Jack Ellison 2014

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.

Jack, Enjoyed your write here very much. Your words are quite telling and are inspiring, I think, for all of us to try to achieve a better balance in life. It's a hard bill to fill, but it helps each one of to try and reduce the stress and strife in our lives. Cheers, Gary (and a "7" from me on your work here.)
