Contentment Poem by Leonard McGee
Contentment
We shared yesterday,
and we have today,
with nothing to follow
Because you forgot the past,
ignored the present,
and forfeited tomorrow
We fueled our hopes,
and chased our dreams,
with no real result
Because I closed my mind,
doubted the possibilities,
and just fought
We had mutual trust,
and complete respect,
with no kind of bond
Because we lacked expression,
sacrificed passion,
and stopped having fun
We had loving hearts,
thoughtful minds,
with no real commitment
Because we chose toleration,
left things unsaid, and
settled for contentment
I really loved the way you described everything. Great poem rich in imagery and style. Rate 10 for your skilful writing. Thanks for sharing..... Kindly read and rate my poem 'A busy street' on page 1.

Expression, Passion, committment. Wonderful things that are often so much lacking in today's world. I think a lot of relationships are short-lived because of a lack of these wonderful things. Good write, Leonard.
