Striving versus Arriving
Happiness hollers from his porch, “Where’s everybody going?” We know if we’ll just ignore him We will not have to admit to not knowing. Contentment waits at the side of the road, Relaxing among the trees. While we try to run fast enough To create a cool breeze.
No doubt, I’ve been in faster lanes, And that’s a good place to be For someone who is running away, But that’s no longer me. This peaceful River has been fed By many reckless streams. If this is as good as it ever gets, It’s beyond my wildest dreams.
