That’s All You Have To Be Content With Poem by Aldo Kraas

Since you don’t get much support from your family
I hope you get it from your friends and the man you love
That’s all you have to be content with
That’s the reality of life
He prefers not to deal with you any more, I mean our brother
It is a family that is so dysfunctional
That’s all you have to be content with
I hope everything turns all right for you
That’s all you have to be content with
The little dog you loved so much
Has gone to dog heaven
It was her time to go
She will be walking in heaven
And meeting other dogs in heaven
That’s all you have to be content with
Don’t stop hopping that some day things will change
That’s all you have to be content with
You have a place that you can call home
That’s all you have to be content with
Trust in him
And trust her burden
That’s all you have to be content with
Settle in the night
In that bed
You and that man you love
And I am begging for mercy
If he could understand now
That’s all the life she has until she dies
That’s all you have to be content with
The prayers she does for her
That keeps her alive
That’s all you have to be content with
There is a place for you in my mind and in my heart
That’s all you have to be content with
