L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

The Good Life

What is the secret to the good life?
Filled with things that most satisfy
Free of unnecessary worry and strife
And replete with things that gratify
I’m not sure I have a single answer
That would fit everyone’s situations
But I highly recommend adventure,
Enhanced by taking good vacations!
Nothing so elevates one’s life stations
[Increasing understanding of a culture]
Like visiting a faraway exotic nation
Watching the gyrations of a dancer
Can help the inquiring mind to ratify
The inestimable value of individual life
For the muddled, biased mind, to clarify
What the secret is to the good life.

Tom Cunningham April 8, 2022 at 2:41 PM Doing whatever makes you happy and travelling to exotic places surely tops the list. Also avoid people that drain your batteries because they'll drag you down. Tom L Milton Hankins April 8, 2022 at 3:17 PM True. Good idea, Tom. There's always a few people around that we ought to ignore and avoid.
