Who Could Want Any More? Poem by Paul Reed

"With this small house, this garden large,
This little gold, this lovely mate,
With health in body, peace in heart-
Show me a man more great."
[By William Henry Davies from ‘Truly Great']

A safe haven
A solid front door,
A place to hide away
Who could want any more?

A leafy garden
To rest and explore,
Birdsong and sunshine
Who could want any more?

A little money
Not riches galore,
Just enough to get by on
Who could want any more?

To feel good each morning
With health at your core,
A spring in your step
Who could want any more?

A mind that is settled
With peace to the fore
Not anxious, not fearful
Who could want any more?

A true love beside you
With their devotion swore,
A faithful companion
Who could want any more?
