Each day
Waking to a question in my mind
Is it enough?
This body
with some muscles and some fat
some wrinkles creeping in around my eyes
some part of me leaking out when I don’t want
Is it enough?
This life of making coffee
doing work I love
but making less money than other people make
and more than many do
having less fame then other people have
and more than many do
Is it enough?
The noise of traffic outside
a few plates in the sink
things mostly in their place
but clutter too
Is it enough?
A walk with friend to pick up dinner
talking about things we’ve talked about before
and yet enjoying the new curiosity on old pages
Is it enough?
Knowing the I’ll get old and die
well actually not knowing about the old part
Knowing it will be forgotten
all the laughter and angst
Knowing the earth is getting hotter
that racism is still a thing
that I don’t respect our leaders
Is it enough even though it’s never enough,
more days
I could handle anyway
more money
than I could spend
more life then
I have stomach for
Is it enough?
And what if it was?
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my users would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Appreciate it!
Yes, that would be fine.
