Happy And Contented

Nostalgic memories of a childhood spent

Splashing in the water, playing in the rain,

Without a care in the world, I went

To school, playground, and home again.

Looking back, not a moment I repent,

As sport and achievement went hand in hand

Bringing with it true success and land,

A spouse so dear and children a handful

Making my home complete and cheerful.

Past may be history, but memories remain

Cherished and golden now and beyond.

Now is what matters, indeed I know,

Guiding my children by action, I do show

That caring for others makes our world better,

And hope whatever I do, they will follow.

I do not know what the future holds,

But that does not worry me in the least,

As I am in the present doing my best,

And content in leaving to God the rest.
