A Word From The Wise Poem by S Holland

A nice poem about contentment. Moving around all about town just to find peace is not always the solution. True peace comes from accepting the person that you are and not what others try to mold you to be. Very inspiring Sandi.

@Peter Mamara Funny you should say that. On a past job many, many years ago, I was accused, by my boss, of being philosophical in some writing that I'd done. Probably a letter of some sort. Anyway, though I didn't see anything wrong with what I'd expressed, his comment left me feeling lacking in some way. I never understood what was wrong with being philosophical, except that maybe it had no place in the business world. But then, in all the jobs I had in the business world, I never fitted in anyway :) I'm honored by your comment. Thank you very much.

Thanks for reading, Roseann Shawiak. I will read one of your poems.

Physically we can move anywhere, but within, our beings and spirits are always with us. That is where we are to find the happiness, meaning, and purpose of our lives. If it's not there, we have only our attitudes to blame for our unhappiness.

@Heather Wilkins Yes, be happy and be free, where ever you are.

Thanks, Patricia. One of my greatest joys is to write inspiring and motivational poetry.
