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
