Subject(s): Contentment


As upon my couch I lie
Gazing at the starlit sky,
I feel absolute content
With thoughts upon my loved ones bent.

My children -- two -- have gone to bed;
Their tasks are done; their prayers are said.
My husband sits with hand in mine;
Our souls are merged . . . the spark divine.
