What's Good Enough

What’s good enough for me is a quiet night A soft embrace makes my world feel right A cup of warmth and toke of the soul A gentle breeze helping me feel whole What’s good enough for me is honest love A peaceful heart calming my skies above Sounds of laughter echoing with cheer Trusted love of my life always near What’s good enough for me is letting go Of all the weight keeping me moving slow A path to walk with lightness in my feet Moments with old friends when we meet What’s good enough for me is inner peace A life where worries and noise can cease Live to grow not simply chasing after more Finding the beauty in what life has in store What’s good enough for me is simply this… A home, warm meals, love and nights of bliss

Well said Chris. My wife and I have been married almost 38 yrs and the last two lines of your poem make me realize what it is all about.
