Contentment

 

Contentment is reverence

For the grace already present in our lives

 

Sometimes that grace is powerful

At other times sublime

But always it is sufficient

This gift enables us to maintain joy

Amidst all sadness and the pain

 

There are times I do question the wisdom

And the timing of my Creator

Contentment is no longer present

While fighting against reality

Until I surrender to what is

 

Surrender does not mean we give up

We seek, we petition, we cry, we laugh

We walk around the mountain before us

But through this entire event

Contentment brings us joy

 

Contentment is reverence

For the grace already present in our lives
