Poem of The Day – Heaven

From Homes and property

HEAVEN
Outside I smoke my cigarette and wonder
What have I ever done to earn all this
The peace and content
In my younger days
I did dream of greater things
Things I never got
But now, Everything I need, I have
All that I need is all that I want
Content and at peace
There are others I know who have much more
But what they need, they don?t have
I do
I have all that I need
All that I need is all that I want
At peace and content
I smoke my cigarette and wonder
How did I reach this place
At peace and content
This must be heaven
